The San Diego Padres arrived at Dodgers Stadium ahead of Los Angeles in the standings and by the time the weekend series was over they were in last place looking up at the Dodgers.  Los Angeles defeated San Diego 4-1 on Sunday to complete the sweep.   San Diego could only cross home plate one time the whole weekend and were swept into last place by the Dodgers.   San Diego goes into the All-Star break in last place in the National League West trailing first place San Francisco Giants by 12 games.
