Jose Fernandez got the win and became the first pitcher since 1900 to win his first 17 home decisions! That is a pretty incredible stat....
What is also incredible is how the Marlins have not hit for the cycle!! The Marlins were hitting the cover off the ball and it all started when Justin Bour decided to hit a home run. double and then a single. He was a triple away from the cycle....but lets be real.
Instead of running, he eats donuts and works on his one-pack.
Christian Yelich later decides that he wants to double, triple, and then single needing just a home run to hit for the cycle! The Marlins had not one but two players on cycle watch last night!!! The problem was it was either fatty going for a triple or scrawny hitting a long ball....
It did not happen...3650 games and no cycle.... But at least they won and are back on a three game winning streak
Stadium 6: Petco Park
Located in downtown San Diego and home of the Padres, Petco Park was opened in 2004.
Also it seems like a place to give birth as on Thursday a women actually gave birth at the stadium!!

But honestly if the first thing you see when you come out is the San Diego Padres or worst him...
I would go right back in and hide!
The stadium is in a perfect location in downtown with an awesome view of the city in the backdrop!
Fish tacos....Do I have to say anything else but fish tacos!
I also really enjoyed the fact that there is a beach in right center where you can play in the sand!
You also have a hill in the back of right center where you can simply chill and watch the game and have a picnic if you desire. With all the craft beers available in the city, it just makes sense to sit back and enjoy one of them while watching the Padres play...
San Diego is a great city with a great stadium and I am really hopeful that I can head back there sometime soon!
Next up: Sweet Caroline!
