San Diego Padres last postseason series at home

The last time the San Diego Padres hosted a playoff series at home, they fell to the St. Louis Cardinals in the 3-1. That year, the Padres were the kings of the National League West and had a better record than the Cards. The Friars, having home-field advantage, dropped their first two games at home. Chris Carpenter produced a masterclass in Game 1, limiting the Padres to only one run. Jeff Weaver and the Cards bullpen continued their hot streak and shut down the Padres in Game 2 with a 2-0 score. The Padres got one back at Busch Stadium after their Game 3 win but will surrender the series to the Cardinals in Game 4 after another masterclass by Carpenter. The Cardinals would go on to become World Series champions that season. As for the Padres, they won't make another postseason appearance until 2020.
