They took Game 2 of the series, 4-1, and followed it up on Sunday with a narrow 2-1 victory in the series finale.

Michael King looked his usually dominant self, pitching five innings of one-hit ball. He had a problem with his command, giving up four walks, but he was able to get out of each jam he got himself into. The Friars managed to put together just enough runs to win the game, scoring a run apiece in the fourth and seventh innings.

Kyle Hart pitched in relief and gave up the lone Angels run of the game. But San Diego managed to hold it together as Mason Miller slammed the door in the ninth, earning his MLB-leading eighth save. The Padres had a major power outage in Anaheim after mashing 10 moonshots in their recent homestand.

They scored zero runs via the long ball and only managed to scratch six runs together but still won the series. San Diego will face the Colorado Rockies tonight and hope that the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field will help spark an offense that went dormant over the weekend.
