Padres juggernaut of an offense scored 29 runs in 4 games.  Yup 29 runs.

Phillies offense was anemic and that is putting it nicely.  4 runs in the bottom of the 8th of Game 4 made the stats look better.  Prior to that outburst they had scored 6 runs thru 4 games.  It is going to be a long season in Philly.
