Craig Kimbrel picked up the save in the Braves’ 2-0 victory over the Padres Aug. 28, 2012 in San Diego.

Since then, Kimbrel has played for two teams – including the Padres – and the Braves have had two managers.

But the team still hasn't won in San Diego, a losing streak that reached 11 Monday night with a 7-2 loss at Petco Park.

“I remember when I was here a few years ago (as Braves third-base coach), we had a hard time in this ballpark it seemed like,” Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said, “and we had good teams, that were doing good and fighting for the division and everything. We’d come in here and it was a tough place for us to play, for some reason.”
