The San Diego Padres needed this. After only scoring five runs across their entire series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Friars put up seven runs with three homers against the Athletics. It was a barrage that felt warranted. The Padres offense looked healthy as ever against the Seattle Mariners last weekend but went cold […]
San Diego Padres catcher Rodolfo Durán signed with the Friars in January of 2025 as a minor league free agent after playing in the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals organizations after signing with the Phillies in 2014.

It did not look like it was going to be a good day for the San Diego Padres when their starting pitcher, Walker Buehler, allowed two runs in the first inning. It did not look much better when he allowed the visiting Athletics to take a 3-2 lead in the top of the fourth inning. […]

The Athletics started this weeklong Southern California road trip on the right note, winning three of four against the woeful, last-place Los Angeles Angels. The series win was anything but easy, though, as the A’s needed 10 innings to win each of the final two games. Tonight, the first-place Athletics head further south to begin […]
This was a tough series for the San Diego Padres. Not because their offense couldn’t put together runs in the finale. Not just because it was against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers. It was tough for all those reasons and more. But what made it tough was how demoralizing it felt. The Friars seemed to […]
After the sweep at the hands of the Padres last weekend, the Mariners managed to get things back on track a bit with a series win over the White Sox. Seattle hasn’t won back-to-back series since going 5-1 on their road trip at the end of April. They’ve been mired in an unfortunate rut, unable […]
Mason Miller joined the San Diego Padres at the 2025 trade deadline, and his acquisition came at a steep price. The top prospect in the San Diego organization, Leodalis De Vries, had to be in the return for Miller and left-hander JP Sears. Padres president of baseball operations and general manager A.J. Preller paid the […]
The San Diego Padres have one of the best bullpens in baseball and AJ Preller is already making calls to make it better. Dennis Lin of The Athletic reported that Preller is poking around for bullpen help, hoping to strike an early deal with a team open to parting with relief pitching before the trade market heats up later in the summer. San Diego's relief corps ranks seventh in team ERA at 3.32, second in strikeout rate at 25.5 percent, first in ground-ball rate at 50.8 percent, third in F...
Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman doubled in each of his first two at-bats in Wednesday’s win over the San Diego Padres, finishing off a productive series at Petco Park. He now has 560 doubles in his career, tied for 30th all-time in MLB history. He’s tied with Eddie Murray and Jeff Kent, both who like […]
Morning, all! Mackenzie Gore is trending towards making his next scheduled start on Sunday after leaving after one inning with lat tightness in his last start. Brandon Nimmo exited yesterday’s game with hamstring tightness after hitting a single in the fifth, though Skip Schumaker describes the move as precautionary. Nimmo says that he expects to […]
It turned out to be a sign of things to come when Shohei Ohtani hit a homerun on the first pitch from Randy Vasquez to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 1-0 lead over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. The Dodgers would go on to add three more runs to their total, while […]
The Dodgers had a lead on the very first pitch of the game, while the Padres couldn’t scratch across a single run as the Dodgers took the series by shutting out San Diego 4-0 on Wednesday. Shohei Ohtani smacked his second leadoff home run of the season, as he attacked the first pitch of the […]

J.P. Crawford was a late scratch before Wednesday’s series finale against the White Sox, as the triceps issue stemming from a hit by pitch in the last series with the Padres continues to bother him. Pregame he was seen pointing out the sore area to Cole Young, playfully poking the young second baseman in the […]
An errant pickoff throw by San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller allowed Los Angeles Dodgers pinch-runner Alex Call to move all the way to third base. He later scored on a sacrifice fly by Andy Pages, securing the Dodgers a hard-fought 5-4 victory over the Padres. After watching the replay, you see Miller threw the […]
Maybe it’s the anticipation of having waited until nearly June to face them for the first time, but this series against the San Diego Padres has more than lived up to incredibly high expectations. A couple of days after seeing the Friars’ ace completely shut the high-powered Dodgers down, now it’s time to face probably […]
Since joining the San Diego Padres at last year’s trade deadline, closer Mason Miller has appeared in 44 games, and had scoreless appearances in 41 of them. The Dodgers accounted for one of the other three games in Tuesday’s win at Petco Park, helped in large part by Miller’s errant pickoff throw to first base […]
The Alex Verdugo experiment ended for the San Diego Padres last week when the former major leaguer underwent surgery on his injured shoulder and was released by the Friars. He had been in Arizona for extended Spring Training and then began playing with the ACL Padres. The announcement this past week indicates the end of […]
Mason Miller walked Max Muncy on a borderline pitch that was initially called a strike, but was challenged by Muncy and overturned, resulting in ball four. Muncy was replaced by pinch runner Alex Call and that proved to be a game-winning decision by Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. Miller faced Andy Pages with one […]
