SAN DIEGO — The final game before the All-Star break went down like many before it.
It may have been a little worse than most. Or perhaps it just seems that way as the Padres continue to slog through a fog of offensive futility.
Against a team that had lost all five games it had played at Petco Park this season and all but five of its previous 22 games in San Diego, the Padres finished what is traditionally called the first half of the season with a 3-1 loss on Sunday.
