Nationals Go Quietly Against San Diego

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 1 -- Like few other stadiums in baseball, Petco Park imposes its personality. And the place has a quirky one. It likes low-scoring games and exasperated hitters. It is perfectly within reason for two nondescript pitchers -- one with a 5.22 ERA, the other with a 4.85 ERA -- to go back and forth trading their Greg Maddux imitations. If Petco had its way, games would end once the first team scored.

The Nationals have played two games at Petco. The park isn't solely responsible for abducting Washington's offense, but it's aided the disappearance. Managing just four hits on Tuesday, the Nationals lost to the Padres, 4-1 -- a familiar Petco-style defeat with stunted offense and a few head-shaking lost opportunities. In the first two games of this series, the Nationals have scored a total of two runs. They're hitting just .194. Adam Dunn and Josh Willingham are a combined 0 for 15 with eight strikeouts. Hittable pitchers -- Tim Stauffer on Monday, Clayton Richard on Tuesday -- have ceased to be hittable.
