Padres Starters Create History More Than 100 Years in the Making

The San Diego Padres enter the new week coming off an impressive series win over the rival Los Angeles Dodgers, taking two of three games at home. For the most part, the Padres pitching staff shut down the dominant Los Angeles offense and they created some history with the performances. Including the outing from right-hander Dylan Cease against the Chicago Cubs on May 8 and the Padres' starters this past weekend, the team became the first squad since 1893 to have four straight starts of at least five innings while allowing two or fewer hits. Cease started it for San Diego, Micheal King did his part on May 10, Matt Waldron on May 11, and Yu Darvish on May 12.
