Deadline Deals Paying Off, Padres Closing in on Dodgers

A.J. Preller made a bunch of moves last week, and they have paid off right away. Laureano has been raking, O'Hearn got in the lineup and went deep, and Mason Miller showed his incredible stuff Wednesday. Plus, Nestor Cortes made his debut and JP Sears had a bumpy first appearance. Meanwhile, Xander is looking like Xander and the Padres are winning games they may not have a month ago. As a result, they are in striking distance of the Dodgers.
