Good Morning San Diego: Offense fails to show up for Michael King, Padres lose to Cardinals
San Diego Pardes starting pitcher Michael King deserved better than what he got. The right-hander has returned to form as the ace of the staff, especially with Nick Pivetta, Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove, on the injured list and he delivered a six-inning performance allowing one run on one hit before he was removed from […]

San Diego wins first series of May, evens up season series versus San Francisco
The San Diego Padres have had plenty of games that started this way. It was a pitcher’s duel for the whole of Matt Waldron and Adrian Houser’s respective outings.

Padres force rubber match, Sung-Mun Song dazzles in call-up
The San Diego Padres needed a win like this one. Badly. The Friars torched the San Francisco Giants, 10-5, to force the rubber match. After a dismal showing from their offense lately, it was good to watch the Padres hit double-digits against a division rival after only scoring two in the series opener. It was […]
Good Morning San Diego: Lineup shakeup has desired effect, sets Padres up to win series
The San Diego Padres found themselves trailing the San Francisco Giants 4-1 after two innings and it was not looking for the Padres, who had Walker Buehler on the mound. However the new-look San Diego lineup generated consistent offense, which resulted in a 10-5 win over the Giants. Multiple Padres had multi-hit games, including Sung-Mun […]
Sung-Mun Song delivers in first start, helps Padres top Giants
Sung-Mun Song made his MLB debut in Mexico City against the Arizona Diamondbacks when the San Diego Padres added him to their roster as the 27th man. Song made an appearance as a pinch runner but did not do much more than that. Song changed that in his first MLB start when he hit a […]

Cronenworth was hit on the jaw by a pitch in the series […]
Loss to division rivals punctuates tough stretch for San Diego
For so many reasons, the San Diego Padres should have won. The San Francisco Giants were coming off a road trip in which they lost all six games, the Friars had one of their aces on the mound in Randy Vásquez and San Francisco had the rookie Trevor McDonald making his 2026 debut. It all […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres start with a bang, end with a fizzle against Giants
Jackson Merrill hit a first-inning solo home run to put the San Diego Padres ahead of the San Francisco Giants, 1-0 but that was all the offensive excitement the Padres could muster for much of the game. Randy Vasquez started on the mound for San Diego and continued to be effective. However, with an offense […]
It’s time to shake things up with Padres inconsistent bench
San Diego Padres Nick Castellanos has been trying to dig himself out of a slow start to the 2026 season. He is hitting .164/.215/.279 with one home run and nine RBI over 62 at-bats. His statistical numbers do not offer much confidence that Castellanos can get out of this slump. The Friar Faithful envisioned him […]
Padres struggle; lose four straight
In losing five-of-eight games, starting with the split against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Mexico City, the San Diego Padres had their first losing streak since the first week of the season.

San Diego preserves sweep-less 2026, heads to San Francisco for road trip
The last week has been a difficult one for the San Diego Padres. Perhaps the first such week since Opening Week. The Friars dropped five of their last eight contests, but they managed to stave off a sweep with yesterday’s win over the Chicago White Sox. It was exactly what San Diego needed. Newcomer Griffin […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres win close game against White Sox to avoid sweep

San Diego staving off sweep for first time since Opening Week
The San Diego Padres haven’t been in this position in quite some time. In fact, they went all of April without losing the first two games of a series. They’ve now dropped four straight for the first time in 2026, and there’s really only one culprit. The bats have been cold. Throughout the losing streak, […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres in danger of being swept after loss to White Sox
If you wanted to know how the San Diego Padres were doing the season, just watch the ninth inning of their 4-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox at Petco Park on Saturday night. The good news was Jeremiah Estrada returned from his stint on the IL. The right-hander made quick work of the three […]
