The San Diego Padres continued their recent stretch of success by winning their MLB-leading sixth straight game, taking the series opener from the Seattle Mariners. It was an all-around success, with fantastic defense, great pitching and an offense that just wouldn’t quit against one of the game’s best pitchers in Bryan Woo. They’ll look to […]
The San Diego Padres are on a roll, as they have won nine of their last 11 games. They sit comfortably in second place in the National League West. But the momentum may turn for the worse after Nick Pivetta left his last start with right elbow stiffness. The injury has forced the Padres to […]
The San Diego Padres improved to 11-6 on the season with their sixth consecutive win last night. The Padres combined a solid start from Michael King with just enough offense off Seattle Mariners starter Bryan Woo to take the first game of the three-game series, 4-1. Xander Bogaerts drove in three of the four runs […]
No one expected a high scoring game when the San Diego Padres hosted the Seattle Mariners for the first game of a three-game series at Petco Park on Thursday. Michael King was on the mound for the Padres and Bryan Woo was pitching for the Mariners so both offenses knew opportunities to score would be […]
The San Diego Padres officially announced that starter Nick Pivetta, who suffered an injury while pitching on Sunday, is being placed on the 15-day injured list. It will be retroactive to April 13. The diagnosis is right elbow inflammation. Pivetta was in the fourth inning of a perfect start against the Colorado Rockies when his […]
Before the start of the 2026 season the San Diego Padres were projected to win 79-80 games by FanGraphs and PECOTA. The assumption was the bench was not deep or talented enough, the starting pitching was not deep or talented enough and the bullpen wouldn’t be as good with the departure of closer Robert Suarez. […]

The San Diego Padres have had quite the turnaround in the last week. After opening the season with a middling 5-5 record, they’ve gone 5-1 in the six games since, making them the second club to reach 10 wins (behind only the rivals up the freeway). That turnaround was capped off by a four-game sweep […]
The San Diego Padres bullpen was expected to be the strength of the team coming into the 2026 season, the first season under new manager and former Padres reliever Craig Stammen. The San Diego bullpen has been good, but it has not been the shutdown game-determining juggernaut the Friar Faithful expected. In fact, one of […]
The San Diego Padres punctuated their four-game homestand against the Colorado Rockies with a 7-2 win in the final game, giving them a sweep of the series.

The San Diego Padres put an end to their recent walk-off shenanigans with a 9-5 come-from-behind victory over the Colorado Rockies Saturday night. Germán Márquez, after his last stellar start, reverted to his previous not-so-good form but still managed to pick up the win with some thump from the offense. Márquez allowed four runs on […]
German Marquez was not sharp in his start against the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park on Saturday night.

One walk-off was something. Two consecutive walk-off moonshots is something else entirely. Gavin Sheets was the hero of last night’s game after belting a three-run dinger about as deep as the Friar Faithful have seen a ball go in Petco Park. The crazy part: it wasn’t even his first homer of the game. Luis Campusano […]
Baseball’s best pure hitter no longer calls San Diego home. Three-time batting champion Luis Arraez joined the San Francisco Giants on a one-year, $12 million deal this offseason. He wanted to return to being an everyday second baseman. The San Diego Padres hoped for a reunion, but could not guarantee playing time at second. Arraez […]
Walker Buehler has had an uneven start to his tenure with the San Diego Padres. After two starts Buehler had only accumulated 6.2 innings pitched with seven runs allowed on eight hits with five walks and seven strikeouts. With Griffin Canning and Matt Waldron building up in an effort to return to the MLB roster […]
Right-handed bullpen stalwart Jason Adam, who has been recovering from quad tendon surgery since last September, returned to the San Diego Padres in a dramatic fashion during the Friday night game against the Colorado Rockies.

For the second tine in as many nights, and for the first time in the new City Connect 2.0 uniforms, the San Diego Padres walked off the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park. One night after Xander Bogaerts hit a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 12th inning, Gavin Sheets hit his second home […]
The San Diego Padres did not start the season well at home in their first six games versus the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants, facing excellent starting pitching and showing an anemic offense, the Friars went 2-4 at home. The road trip to Boston to face the Red Sox for their home opener also […]

What. A. Game. The San Diego Padres had their first walk off of the year last night and, with it, this team is starting to look like itself once again. After failing to score more than one run—despite plenty of opportunities—San Diego entered the tenth inning against the Colorado Rockies with Jeremiah Estrada on the […]
Xander Bogaerts had to have felt a little disrespected when the Colorado Rockies elected to load the bases on back-to-back intentional walks to Jackson Merrill and Manny Machado to load the bases with Jake Cronenworth on third base. Bogaerts took the first pitch of the at-bat for a ball and then belted the second pitch […]
