Padres Notes: Soto to New York, Heartbreaking Loss to Twins, Tough Schedule Excuses

This squad continues to show flashes and then fall back down.

Following a dominant 6-1 win over the Minnesota Twins at Target Field, it looked maybe the Padres would look to get on a nice streak before they see the Dodgers again this weekend, Unfortunately, they came out on the bottom of an 11-inning nail biter against them on Wednesday.
