MLB.com: Slipping Padres drop 10th straight ballgame In an attempt to breathe new life into a suddenly reeling ballclub, the Padres turned to the music of Michael Jackson, which echoed through PETCO Park as each San Diego batter stepped to the plate. But even the upbeat tunes of the King of Pop couldn’t snap the Padres out of their recent funk.
San Diego’s season-worst losing streak reached 10 games on Sunday, as the Padres were swept by the Rockies after dropping a 4-2 decision in front of a crowd of 23,250.
MLB.com: [Jonathan] Sanchez’s gem puts NL West lead in reach [Jonathan] Sanchez actually pitched capably for the second start in a row, allowing three hits in seven shutout innings. And the Giants wholeheartedly embraced his performance, which furthered their bid for a postseason berth as they outlasted the Dodgers, 3-0.
Juan Uribe homered for the second consecutive game to help San Francisco defeat Los Angeles for the seventh time in nine games and capture its third series in a row against its arch-rivals.

There was a note on ESPN that the Padres are the first team since the 1932 Pirates to have a ten-game losing streak and still be in first place the whole time.
The Giants are trying to set some kind of record for backing into the division.
Although Sanchez is pitching great tonight (knock on wood), so that would bring it down to 1 game.
Though those Pirates lost 4 straight after they finally broke their 10-game skid, falling out of first in the process. They ended up 4 behind the Cubs.
What was the last team to survive an 11+ game losing streak in first place?
