San Diego, CA - Padres 5-game winning streak snap by Atlanta Braves at Petco Park.

Padres open their first game at Petco Park this season against the Atlanta Braves. Padres won their last 5 games coming into this game. Padres pitcher Chris Young pitches well until the 5th inning where Braves' Matt Diaz took him deep for a 3 run shot to left field to put the Braves on board 3-0.

Braves pitcher Tim Hudson pitched a masterful game against the Padres, Hudson pitched 6 innings, 3 hits, 0 runs, and strikeout 3 Padres.

Padres had plenty of opportunities to tie or take the lead. The lead off double by Kyle Blanks in the 4th inning was wasted and in the top of the 7th inning, Chase Headley had runners in the corners, 2 outs. Headley ground out to Martin Prado to end the inning.

"Very frustrating lost. We had good opportunities out there to drive in some runs, but we didn't." Gwynn Jr. Stated.

The Padres and Braves play again tomorrow at Petco Park. Kevin Correia and Jair Jurrjens are the probable pitchers for game 2 of the series.

Et Cetera:

- Blanks continues to hit well in 5th hole behind Headley and Gonzalez.
