Final
Padres aim to sweep hapless Nationals
Sep 21, 2008 - 6:26 AM San Diego (60-95) at Washington (58-97), 1:35 p.m. EDTWASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The San Diego Padres look to complete a sweep when they meet the Washington Nationals on Sunday.
The teams shared the worst record in the National League on Friday but the Nationals now claim the dubious honor after dropping the first two games of the series.
Cha Seung Baek (5-10, 5.06 ERA) will be on the mound for San Diego, which has swept an opponent three times this season.
The righthander is coming off an outing in which he lasted two innings before leaving with tightness in his right triceps on September 14.
Washington will counter Odalis Perez (7-10, 4.26), who is coming off his best outing of the season.
The veteran lefthander threw 7 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing four hits in the Nationals' 1-0 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday.
