\n

Sunday’s 7-2 loss at the Minnesota Twins capped a disappointing 2-4 road trip for the San Diego Padres, putting them two games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the National League West.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

But on paper, the last 25 games of the season, with 16 at home beginning Monday with a late-afternoon visit from the Baltimore Orioles, could bring San Diego (76-61) its first division title since 2006.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

That’s because the Padres have thrived at Petco Park, their bayside ballyard where sellout crowds and home team wins are rule rather than exception. Their 43-22 record at home has allowed them to absorb a losing road mark (33-39) and stay in playoff position and division title contention.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“We’ve got amazing fans and we’ve got a great vibe there,” San Diego manager Mike Shildt said. “We’re comfortable there, we have the energy there and we perform well there. We’re excited about getting home.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

No team in baseball has suffered fewer home losses than the Padres. But their road record doesn’t augur well for postseason, where teams usually have to prove they can win a game or two in the face of raucous crowds.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“The energy at home is incredible and we’ve got to find a way to match that on the road,” left fielder Gavin Sheets said. “To play in front of 48,000 at home and it’s rocking, it’s easy to gear up for that. … We’ve just got to find a way to do that on the road.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

That won’t be right-hander Dylan Cease’s problem in the series opener. Cease (6-11, 4.82 ERA) has earned all of his victories at Petco, including his last three starts there. He’s coming off a no-decision Tuesday night in a 7-6 win at Seattle, allowing four runs in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Cease is 3-1 with a 3.82 ERA in six career starts against Baltimore, striking out 45 in 35 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Opposing him will be right-hander Kyle Bradish (0-1, 3.00), making his second start of the year after missing the first five months while he recovered from Tommy John surgery. Bradish pitched well in a 5-0 loss to Boston on Tuesday night, fanning 10 and walking none over six innings while allowing four hits and two runs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“We haven’t seen stuff like that out of the rotation all year,” Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said. “This is the type of guy that if he stays healthy, it’s ace-type stuff. It’s ace-type pitch-ability, it’s absolutely an ace mentality.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Bradish’s absence isn’t the entire reason Baltimore (61-76) has been surprisingly bad this year, but the Orioles sure have missed his ability. Their starting pitching has failed to get deep into games and a powerful lineup hasn’t played up to its ability.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Sunday’s 13-2 loss to San Francisco, the team’s ninth in 11 games, was emblematic of the season. Starter Tomoyuki Sugano was knocked out after 3 1\/3 innings, 10 hits and seven runs. The offense produced nothing until the team trailed 13-0 in the ninth.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Mansolino, who took over for the fired Brandon Hyde on May 17, has guided the team to a 46-48 mark.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

This will be the first time that Padres Ryan O’Hearn and Ramon Laureano, who were traded from Baltimore at the July 31 deadline, will face their former team.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
