Michael King did everything he could to give the San Diego Padres a win. King pitched six innings, giving up only one run on a homer to Alec Burleson. But the Friars simply couldn’t take advantage, with their lone run coming in the first inning. It was Jordan Walker’s double followed by a Masyn Winn […]
San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano fouled a ball off his foot in the second game of the series against the Giants in San Francisco and went right back to work.

San Diego Pardes starting pitcher Michael King deserved better than what he got. The right-hander has returned to form as the ace of the staff, especially with Nick Pivetta, Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove, on the injured list and he delivered a six-inning performance allowing one run on one hit before he was removed from […]

The San Diego Padres have had plenty of games that started this way. It was a pitcher’s duel for the whole of Matt Waldron and Adrian Houser’s respective outings. The two pitched through the first six innings giving up a solo shot each. But Houser was (surprisingly) lifted in the seventh after only 74 pitches […]
Ty France came in to pinch-hit in the top of the seventh inning and hit a two-out, two-run triple to score Fernando Tatis Jr. and Ramon Laureano to give the San Diego Padres a 3-1 lead over the San Francisco Giants. Xander Bogaerts, who entered the game in the bottom of the seventh inning as […]

The San Diego Padres needed a win like this one. Badly. The Friars torched the San Francisco Giants, 10-5, to force the rubber match. After a dismal showing from their offense lately, it was good to watch the Padres hit double-digits against a division rival after only scoring two in the series opener. It was […]
Arbitrary endpoints in baseball are fun. If you want to make the case for something, it’s usually not hard to do it if you get to pick the start and end dates, which is exactly what’s about to happen here. Since April 23, Carson Benge has hitting much better than he had from Opening Day […]
The San Diego Padres found themselves trailing the San Francisco Giants 4-1 after two innings and it was not looking for the Padres, who had Walker Buehler on the mound. However the new-look San Diego lineup generated consistent offense, which resulted in a 10-5 win over the Giants. Multiple Padres had multi-hit games, including Sung-Mun […]
Near the end of Tuesday’s telecast of the San Diego Padres’ 10-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants, broadcaster Duane Kuiper tried to look on the bright side of Matt Chapman’s 0-for-4 night. “If it’s any consolation,” Kuiper said, “Chapman’s had the longest out in this game.” That’s how hard it was to find a […]
Sung-Mun Song made his MLB debut in Mexico City against the Arizona Diamondbacks when the San Diego Padres added him to their roster as the 27th man. Song made an appearance as a pinch runner but did not do much more than that. Song changed that in his first MLB start when he hit a […]

The San Francisco Giants are swapping right-handed pitchers ahead of Tuesday’s home game against the San Diego Padres. A few hours before the game, the team announced that right-handed starter Trevor McDonald had been optioned to AAA Sacramento, while right-handed reliever Joel Peguero had been activated off the 15-Day Injured List. It might seem like […]
For so many reasons, the San Diego Padres should have won. The San Francisco Giants were coming off a road trip in which they lost all six games, the Friars had one of their aces on the mound in Randy Vásquez and San Francisco had the rookie Trevor McDonald making his 2026 debut. It all […]
Jackson Merrill hit a first-inning solo home run to put the San Diego Padres ahead of the San Francisco Giants, 1-0 but that was all the offensive excitement the Padres could muster for much of the game. Randy Vasquez started on the mound for San Diego and continued to be effective. However, with an offense […]
San Diego Padres Nick Castellanos has been trying to dig himself out of a slow start to the 2026 season. He is hitting .164/.215/.279 with one home run and nine RBI over 62 at-bats. His statistical numbers do not offer much confidence that Castellanos can get out of this slump. The Friar Faithful envisioned him […]
