Will Venable is on a tear. Venable picked up three more hits versus Atlanta and made a diving catch (video) in the seventh inning to protect a one run San Diego lead.
Over the weekend Venable hit his third home run in as many games (video) as the Padres bested Milwaukee 4-2. Venable is hitting .476 across his last five games and has raised his average this season to .254.
It doesn't look like Chris Young will be joining Venable on the Padres' active roster anytime soon. Young was transferred to the 60-day disabled list on July 31st.
