Shutout Shutout Shutout

If you're new to baseball, and have on your list of goals to see a shutout in a major league game, I'd recommend watching the Padres play this season.

After last night's 3-0 loss to the Phillies, the Padres have been shutout 5 times in 19 games. They have an NL-low .217 batting average, to go with an NL-low 60 runs, mixed in with an NL-low .326 slugging percentage. But they do have an NL-high 27 bags, so there's that.

Incidentally, the Padres are leading the NL walks but have the third-lowest team OBP in the league. That's astounding.
