Lake Elsinore sweeps 6-game series
The Lake Elsinore Storm became the first minor league affiliate to sweep a series this season and now have a winning record going into a tie for first in their division.

Good Morning San Diego: Padres hopeful day off at home will help them get back in win column
Xander Bogaerts has been the most consistent offensive player for the San Diego Padres through the first month of the season — his defense has been pretty good, too. The question, as the calendar turns to May, is can he maintain this pace? There is some reason to think that after three years in San […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres lose series to Cubs, get day off before hosting White Sox
The San Diego Padres dropped a series for the first time since the opening week of the season with a 5-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday, but they had opportunities to prevent that. In the end, the offense did not do enough, and the bullpen struggled to keep runs off the board. Miguel […]

Bullpen shows wear and tear, San Diego heads to rubber match
Last night was a game the San Diego Padres usually win. The Friars and the Chicago Cubs traded blows for the first five innings of the game before the Cubs took a lead they wouldn’t relinquish in the sixth.

Good Morning San Diego: Padres get another stinker from bullpen, fall to Cubs
Walker Buehler was not sharp, but he was not terrible either. He allowed two runs on three hits and left the game after 4.2 innings with the score tied, 2-2. Kyle Hart came in from the bullpen to help Buehler and the San Diego Padres get out of the inning without allowing a run, but […]

Miller loses scoreless streak, but Padres hold on for the win over Chicago
The San Diego Padres nearly let this one slip. After a devastating 12-7 loss that included the Arizona Diamondbacks scoring 11 unanswered runs on Sunday, the Friars quickly got back in the win column with a 9-7 victory over the red-hot Chicago Cubs. Both starters were tagged for five runs, but the Friars had the […]
Good Morning San Diego: Manny Machado exits early; Mason Miller proves he is human; Padres take Game 1 against Cubs
The opening game of the three-game set between the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs was filled with twists and turns and ups and downs. Some — perhaps not former Padres manager Mike Shildt — would describe it as a rollercoaster. San Diego walked off the field with a 9-7 win over Chicago when […]
Padres win, Mason Miller sees scoreless innings streak come to an end
It was almost shocking to see. The most dominant closer in the MLB allowed a run. In fact, he allowed two runs. San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller worked 34 2/3 innings without allowing a runner to cross the plate. That streak came to an end in the top of the ninth inning against the […]

San Diego finds slug, drops finale in Mexico
It felt like the San Diego Padres’ game all day, in large part, because it was. Michael King twirled six innings of two-run ball, sporting eight strikeouts and only one walk. He exited the game with a 7-2 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was over in a hurry. The Padres’ bullpen (uncharacteristically) gave up […]
Padres Fernando Tatis Jr.’s improved plate discipline meets unlucky results
San Diego Padres Fernando Tatis Jr. is exiting the first month of the 2026 season with a disappointing .250/.333/.290 line, zero HR, 12 RBI, and 0.0 WAR. A very strange start for a player with a career WAR of 27.2. Nevertheless, not an area of concern, but certainly a step back in run production. Tatis […]
Friars reportedly in on top free agent in upcoming class
A recent report from The New York Post’s Jon Heyman suggested that the San Diego Padres might return to their former Seidler-spending ways this offseason, even getting into the bidding war for the services of Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. Skubal has long been sought after by other clubs, and teams like the Los Angeles […]

Padres’ comeback accentuates club’s fiery start to 2026
The San Diego Padres found their slug… albeit in an unlikely place. The Friars came back against the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday after being down four runs at one point. That was due, in large part, to a four-run seventh inning and two Ty France moonshots. San Diego also got some help from some defensive miscues […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres continue late inning heroics, open Mexico City Series with win over D-backs
The San Diego Padres put together another late inning rally to overcome a four-run deficit and beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helu in Mexico City.

Padres win sixth straight series; move on to Mexico City

Better late than never: slug outburst saves San Diego
It was rough going for a moment there. The San Diego Padres bounced back late for a 10-8 win over the Colorado Rockies Thursday afternoon. In what felt like a gruelingly long game, the Friars continued to stay within striking distance but couldn’t seem to get ahead of the Rox. They finally did with three […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres give back to Mexico City, prepare to take on Diamondbacks
The San Diego Padres had a happy flight from Denver to Mexico City after Gavin Sheets hit a three-run home run to cap a five-run ninth inning for the Padres against the Colorado Rockies, which resulted in a 10-8 win.
