The San Diego Padres wasted no time putting one back into the win column with a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels last night.

Good Morning San Diego: Padres return to win column with strong start from German Marquez, late offense
Fernando Tatis Jr. still does not have a home run on the season and for San Diego Padres fans and the superstar right fielder, that is hard to comprehend. While the power has not shown up for Tatis Jr. after 20 games into the season, he has been an offensive contributor and proved that once […]

Padres gradually trusting Luis Campusano behind the dish
The San Diego Padres’ offense has been very potent to begin the 2026 season. One of the early contributors has been Luis Campusano.

Stammen’s belief never wavered Padres […]
Some bright spots among a lot of losses

With homestand sweep complete, Padres face burgeoning Halos ace
After going 2-4 in the Opening Week homestand, the San Diego Padres have now improved their record at Petco Park to 9-4 with a perfect 7-0 homestand. The Friars cannot seem to lose.

San Diego finds a way, walks off Seattle on Merrill Madness
Something strange has been going on in San Diego lately… the Padres can’t seem to lose. After being behind by six runs as late as the sixth inning (and getting no-hit for most of Emerson Hancock’s start), the Friars rallied with a five-run ninth inning. Down three runs with two outs, the Friars hit back-to-back […]
Good Morning San Diego: Merrill Madness shows up early, late in Padres 7-6 win over Mariners
Jackson Merrill started the game with a home run robbery of Seattle Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez in the top of the third inning.

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.

Nick Pivetta’s elbow stiffness adds to Padres SP woes
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 […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres keep winning; Nick Pivetta lands on IL
The San Diego Padres improved to 11-6 on the season with their sixth consecutive win last night.

San Diego continues winning streak with 4-1 win over Seattle
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.

Mason Miller is breaking baseball
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 […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres bullpen has room to improve as season progresses
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 […]
