San Diego’s No. 1 prospect walks it off in extra-inning thriller
This felt like a game that the San Diego Padres typically have no business winning. That said, in the last week, this team has pulled off some miraculous comebacks. They did so again tonight, rallying back from a 5-1 deficit to lead by a run going into the ninth inning. Closer Mason Miller was tasked […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres win rollercoaster matchup against Marlins

Bogaerts falls short of cycle, propels Padres to series win
There’s arguably no San Diego Padre who needed a breakout more than Xander Bogaerts. The veteran shortstop has massively underwhelmed since being signed to a long-term contract ahead of the 2023 season. In his last 15 games, Bogaerts owns a .302/.403/.453 slash line. That production has been buoyed by his last seven games, where his […]
Padres’ red-hot reliever Yuki Matsui ready to take next step
In a battle for the final National League Wild Card postseason berth, San Diego Padres reliever Yuki Matsui has been one of the unsung heroes in the team’s second-half comeback. His dominance down the stretch has solidified him as a premier high-leverage bullpen option for the playoffs. Let’s not forget that Matsui was hampered by […]
Good Morning San Diego: Bogey falls single short of cycle in series clincher for Padres
Xander Bogaerts has not been the most productive player at the plate for the San Diego Padres this season, but that was not the case against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Thursday. Bogaerts fell a single short of the cycle while leading the Padres to a 9-2 win over the Rockies to give […]
The Lake Elsinore Storm are champions

San Diego’s top prospect launches two homers in electric win
After ending their win streak on Tuesday night, the San Diego Padres got back in the win column quickly. They stomped the Colorado Rockies with a 9-3 victory.

Good Morning San Diego: Ethan Salas breaks out, leads Padres to win over Rockies
Ethan Salas had been mired in an 0-for-15 slump since he was called up to the MLB roster by the San Diego Padres before he logged his first hit in the form of a triple against the San Francisco Giants. That slump is just a thing of the past for the top prospect who hit […]

Bullpen drops ball as Padres lose opportunity to catch up in Wild Card
Everyone in the running for the NL Wild Card lost yesterday. Both the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies lost in yesterday’s games. The San Diego Padres lost as well. Had they won, they would have been a measly 0.5 game back of Philly and 1.0 game back of Chicago. It was a key opportunity […]
A.J. Preller signed stellar free agent class for 2026
There is only a little over a week left in the 2026 regular season for the San Diego Padres. With the team marching toward a playoff berth, this is a good time to look back at how they got here. It is not a stretch to say that without the minor league free agents signed […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres get beat up by Rockies, see winning streak snapped
None of the San Diego Padres pitchers could find an answer for Cole Carrigg of the Colorado Rockies and the San Diego State product had a huge night finishing 4-for-5 with a single, a double and two home runs with two runs scored and five RBI to hand the Padres a 9-3 loss at Coors […]

Padres hold on for narrow sweep over Giants
It was a nail biter, but the San Diego Padres came away from it with a seven-game win streak and back-to-back sweeps for the third time this season. It was a great game to cap off the sweep. Ethan Salas finally notched his first big-league hit with a triple in Oracle Park, Fernando Tatis Jr. […]
