Preller paid the […]

After losing two of three to the Milwaukee Brewers on the road, the San Diego Padres arrived in Seattle with an offense that lacked thump, as well as production, from the top of the lineup. With Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Merrill, and Manny Machado scuffling, the rest of the roster carried the team to a […]
Late Sunday afternoon in Seattle was the setting for Lucas Giolito’s debut with the San Diego Padres. His emotions were high, but he channeled his energy into a decent outing. No question, there are plenty of positive takeaways from his first start of the 2026 campaign. This season is different from others, as Giolito had […]

For the second time this season, the San Diego Padres swept the Seattle Mariners. They did so in terrific fashion, outscoring their opponents 17-7. It was production the Friars desperately needed before heading into tonight’s series against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Lucas Giolito had an encouraging debut. He pitched five innings of one-hit ball […]
It will be known as the Gavin Sheets Game of 2026. The left-handed slugger clubbed two homeruns off Seattle Mariners starter George Kirby and added an RBI-double for good measure to lead the San Diego Padres to a 8-3 win and a three-game sweep at T-Mobile Park on Sunday. Sheets came into the game as […]

This felt like a game the San Diego Padres would lose. With the Seattle Mariners’ ace on the mound in Logan Gilbert, it felt like the moping San Diego offense would struggle to score enough to back starter Walker Buehler. That was not the case. Buehler pitched a gem and the Friars rode three homers […]
Gavin Sheets and Nick Castellanos hit homers off Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert and the San Diego Padres earned a 7-4 win at T-Mobile Park on Saturday night.

It was a pretty standard night for the San Diego Padres. Starter Randy Vásquez pitched six shutout innings (and probably could have gone deeper), the high-leverage relievers covered the seventh and eighth innings before Mason Miller closed out the game for his MLB-leading 14th save. All signs pointed to a 2-0 win for the Friars. […]
The San Diego Padres made a roster move on Friday before their first game in the three-game series versus the Seattle Mariners. RHP Alek Jacob was recalled from Triple-A El Paso to join a bullpen that was depleted by the short start (1.2 innings pitched) of starter Griffin Canning on Thursday. Starter/reliever Matt Waldron has […]
Mason Miller was asked to deliver a four-out save to secure a 2-0 win for the San Deigo Padres over the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on Friday. He was eventually able to get four outs and seal the win for the Padres, but the Mariners did not make it easy. Miller was able to […]
Nine days ago, the San Diego Padres placed their starting second baseman, Jake Cronenworth, on the seven-day injured list. The bats have gone cold against quality starting pitching, and the loss of Cronenworth has completely paralyzed the Padres’ offense. It has left a noticeable void at the bottom of the order. It is still unclear […]

It was rough going from the first inning. The San Diego Padres had newcomer Griffin Canning on the mound, who had (mostly) impressed in his first two starts of the year. He did not impress this time around. Canning issued four walks over just 1 2/3 innings of work, surrendering six runs to the Milwaukee […]
The San Diego Padres have had 23 catchers since 2016 (thanks to Clark Fahrenthold on The Brown and Gold Standard podcast). Austin Hedges (2015-2019) was supposed to be the organization’s stalwart for years to come; that didn’t work out. Since then, the front office has put all its eggs in the Luis Campusano basket. That […]
