San Diego Padres Tickets

After a notable 10-4 win against the division-leading Arizona Diamondbacks on May 25, the San Diego Padres are on track to turn around their fortunes heading into June. Offensively, scoring has been bolstered by Chris Denorfia and Yonder Alonso, as Denorfia boasts a .303 batting average with 47 hits in 155 at-bats, and Alonso isn’t far behind with a .282 average in 177 AB and 50 hits. Everth Cabrera has also been a major contributor, and as of May 27, the shortstop leads the Padres with 29 runs and 52 hits, and tops the MLB in stolen bases with 19.

As for upcoming opponents, the month of June will provide the Padres with a wealth of different foes. An interleague series with the visiting Toronto Blue Jays will take the Padres into June, which will be followed by quick trips to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers (June 3-5) and Colorado Rockies (June 6-9). The squad will then return to PETCO Park for consecutive home series with the Atlanta Braves (June 10-12) and Arizona Diamondbacks (June 14-16).Browse the Padres tickets on sale in the marketplace to catch this team as they meet with seasoned foes throughout the season. 

Though the Padres finished in fourth place in the NL West with a 76-86 record and missed out on the playoffs, the season definitely had a silver lining. All-Star third baseman Chase Headley belted 31 home runs and a National League-topping 115 RBIs on his way to winning a Gold Glove and the Silver Slugger Award. The 28-year-old finished fifth in MVP voting as he batted for both average (.286) and on-base percentage (.376). With the mindset that he'll be just as, or more, productive this season, Headley is hoping to up his $3,475,000 salary to $10,300,000 this year. The organization is currently offering $7,075,000, but the sides should come to a compromise in the coming weeks, and that’s great news for the Padres.

Earlier this offseason, the Padres agreed to one-year deals with pitchers Edinson Volquez, Luke Gregerson, and Joe Thatcher; catcher John Baker; and infielder Everth Cabrera. The 2013 Padres Schedule has the team starting the season on the road against the New York Mets, but the home opener will come against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, April 9^th. Also during April, the Padres will play host to the Colorado Rockies, Milwaukee Brewers, and San Francisco Giants.
