Less than 24 hours after a painstaking 11-6 victory in 14 innings, San Diego (60-95) routed Washington 6-1 on Saturday. The win improved the Padres to 12-1 in their last 13 road games against the Nationals franchise since 2004 with the loss being a one-run decision.

San Diego's uncanny success has come in three ballparks, including Montreal's Olympic Stadium and RFK Stadium in Washington. The Nationals will wrap up their first season in their new downtown ballpark with a three-game series against Florida starting on Monday.

Chris Young's arm and bat helped San Diego post its latest win. The 6-foot-10 right-hander allowed two hits over seven shutout innings to win for only the second time since May 16, and hit his first career home run.

"I'm happy we won," Young said. "That's first and foremost. It's been a rough season for us. Wins have been hard to come by."

The Padres have 26 road victories overall this year - one more than Washington, which has the fewest in the NL.

Aaron Boone's ground-rule double in the eighth inning scored Emilio Bonifacio for Washington's lone run on Saturday. With three more defeats, the Nationals (58-97) will have their first 100-loss season since the 1976 Expos dropped 107.

"No whining, no excuses, no weeping. We got beat," Washington manager Manny Acta said,

After leaving early due to injury his last time out, Cha Seung Baek (5-10, 5.06 ERA) is scheduled to start for San Diego.

The right-hander lasted only two innings last Sunday against San Francisco, allowing one run with two hits and two walks before leaving with a strained right triceps muscle. San Diego lost 8-6.

Manager Bud Black told the Padres' official Web site on Monday that Baek is not expected to miss a start.

"He's better, but still a little sore," he said of Baek, who was acquired from Seattle on May 28, and has never faced the Nationals.

Washington will go with Odalis Perez (7-10, 4.26) as he looks to equal his win total from last season with Kansas City. The right-hander is 2-0 with a 4.57 ERA in his last four starts.

He pitched 7 1-3 innings against the New York Mets on Tuesday, allowing four hits with six strikeouts in the Nationals' 1-0 win. Perez also retired 13 in a row at one point.

"He had the best command of the season so far," Acta said. "He threw every one of his pitches for strikes. He was able to stop the middle of the lineup. He was just tremendous."

Perez beat the Padres on May 28, improving to 2-4 with a 5.59 ERA in nine career starts against them.
