Appropriately for a series with two struggling lineups and strong pitching staffs, the Yankees and Padres battled to the margins in Sunday afternoon’s rubber game. The contest could hardly have gone off to a worse start for the Yanks, as Gerrit Cole surrendered home runs to each of the first three batters he faced. The […]
Gerrit Cole's awful start to the rubber match between the New York Yankees and San Diego Padres saw him accomplish what no other pitcher in MLB history ever has.
As if the New York Yankees didn’t have enough question marks surrounding their pitching rotation, Gerrit Cole got off to a head-scratching start against the San Diego Padres , one that saw him make MLB history of the wrong kind.
Allowing a home run to Padres leadoff batter Fernando Tatis Jr. in the first inning was only the sta...
New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole had a rough start to his outing against the San Diego Padres on Sunday.
The San Diego Padres could not have asked for a better start to the series finale against the New York Yankees. Fernando Tatis Jr., Jake Cronenworth, and Manny Machado all smashed solo home runs before starting pitcher Gerrit Cole could register an out.

I don’t know about you, but when I saw the pitching matchup that was scheduled for Sunday’s series finale between the Yankees and Padres, I couldn’t help but smile. Not only will Gerrit Cole be starting on the hill for the Bombers, but he’ll be facing a former teammate, mentee, and close friend in Michael […]

The Yankees lost in walk-off fashion to San Diego on Friday night, but they might not have played extras had it not been for a misplay that allowed the Padres to score their only run of the initial nine innings. With two outs in the second, Xander Bogaerts got under a pitch from Max Fried […]
The New York Yankees have been up and down of late, recently splitting the first two games of their series against the San Diego Padres on the road.

No matter what may you look at it, this was a tough one. After the San Diego Padres walked off the New York Yankees on Friday night, they took a gut punch in Game 2, losing 5-1. Much of that was thanks to starter Robbie Ray failing to get out of the third inning. After […]
San Diego Padres starter Robbie Ray came into his start against the New York Yankees looking for the 100th win of his career. After the Padres took the first game of the series in walk-off fashion on Friday night, the hope was that momentum from that game would carry into the second game of the […]
For as much of a bummer as it was in the moment on Friday to see a 10th-inning Yankees lead vanish on a Padres walk-off homer (especially given the inability to hit Walker Buehler), I was never particularly concerned about the Yanks having any spill-over effect. That’s just how the game goes sometimes, especially the […]
The professional journey made by first baseman Ty France is highlighted by two seasons that have resulted in at least 20 home runs as part of his game. The other part of his game is his defense at first base, which leads all of baseball this year. A San Diego product Drafted out of Tony […]
It was a disastrous road trip. The San Diego Padres had an opportunity to put some distance between themselves and the trailing Arizona Diamondbacks. Instead they played poorly, losing five out of six games, and are now a half game back in the Wild Card chase. It was a team-wide failure, for sure. Poor pitching, […]
It’s kind of funny that once Manny Machado’s 25th homer of the season landed in the seats in the fourth inning, we could have just fast-forwarded to the end of the game. That big fly made the score 5-1, and that’s where this game ended. While the Yankees missed a few chances to add to […]

Friday night was a tough pill for the Yankees to swallow, losing to the Padres in extra innings after managing to take the lead against arguably the game’s most dominant reliever. With the Rays marching onward atop the AL East, knotting up this series is crucial, and the team will need to quickly move on […]

The New York Yankees placed outfielder Trent Grisham on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain and recalled Jasson Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Grisham exited Friday night’s 3-2 loss in extra innings to the San Diego Padres after aggravating the same hamstring that previously sidelined him this season. The Yankees PR department […]

What. A. Game. The San Diego Padres edged out the New York Yankees in a pitcher’s duel on Friday night. It was a win the Friars desperately needed after dropping their series against the Cincinnati Reds earlier this week. Starters Walker Buehler and Max Fried went toe to toe, each allowing a run. Their respective […]
Mason Miller needed just nine pitches to get get three outs in the top of the ninth inning, which allowed the San Diego Padres to come to the plate in the bottom of the ninth with the game tied 1-1 and a chance to get a walk-off win over the New York Yankees. The Padres […]
The Yankees lost a tough one on Friday night, as they failed to score more than a Ben Rice solo shot against old nemesis Walker Buehler, and while Max Fried, Will Warren, and David Bednar admirably went toe-to-toe with a fierce Padres bullpen, it wasn’t enough. A 2-1 lead in the 10th vanished on one […]
With the postseason only a few weeks away, the timing could hardly be worse for the New York Yankees. They suffered a costly blow to the lineup on Friday night, as their $22 million center fielder was forced to leave the game early against the San Diego Padres.

The Yankees played their second extra-innings thriller in as many games, and it looked like they might pull it out yet again. They scratched across a run in the tenth against Padres super closer Mason Miller, and they went to Paul Blackburn to close out the game, only to see Luis Campusano end the game […]
