The uncanny consistency that has kept the San Diego Padres atop the NL West for much of the season may finally be fading. The Padres face the prospect of their first three-game losing streak in nearly three months Sunday if they cannot defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks, who hope to become the second team to sweep San Diego this season. The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Padres from May 14-16, the only time in 2010 that surprising San Diego has lost three in a row. The Padres’ steady play is perhaps the primary reason they remain one game ahead of San Francisco in the division, but they’re looking more vulnerable than ever after losing four of five and six of nine. Last-place Arizona limited the Padres to three hits in a 2-1 win Friday, the third time on this road trip that San Diego has scored one run or fewer.

The Padres’ bats came alive Saturday, erasing a 5-0 deficit and tying the game on Adrian Gonzalez’s ninth-inning home run, but Chris Young’s second homer of the game gave the Diamondbacks a 6-5 victory. Despite winning all six of its home games against the Diamondbacks this season, San Diego has lost four of five at Chase Field, where the Padres are 10-22 since the start of 2007. They still like their chances of avoiding the sweep with Mat Latos on the mound. The emerging 22-year-old has limited opponents to two or fewer runs in 14 of his last 15 starts while going 10-2 with a 1.66 ERA. But despite another fine outing Tuesday at Los Angeles, he was tagged with his first loss since June 4 in a 2-1 defeat.
