CINCINNATI, OH - The San Diego Padres are moving on to the National League Championship Series after defeating the Cincinnati Reds, winning the best of seven series 4-1. True to their regular season record, the Padres split the first two games in San Diego, and then swept all three in Cincinnati.
In a series where all but one game were decided by one run, the Padres got some clutch performances up and down the lineup. Adam Jones was a hitting star, batting .524 in the 5 games. Orlando Hudson hit .364, while Mark Teixeira and Juan Uribe each hit .316. Joe Blanton and Chris Volstad each pitched complete games on the way to victory. The Padres will now face the Atlanta Braves in the NLCS, but this time will not have home-field advantage on their side.
