Padres on four-game win streak, sights on series sweep
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.

Padres continue magical 2026 bounce back with back-to-back walk-offs
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 […]
Padres adjust to life without Luis Arraez
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 […]

Gritty Padres bounce back with 4-2 road trip
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.

Extra-inning heroics, Slam Diego, return to Petco Park
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.

Good Morning San Diego: Padres get first walk-off win under Craig Stammen; City Connect 2.0 uniforms debut on field tonight
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 […]

Early concerns for Padres with Adrian Morejon’s recent outings
Location, Location, Location. Location remains the golden rule of real estate, directly driving a property’s market value. The same holds for major league pitchers who master their location effectively by controlling the game’s tempo. It forces opposing hitters into uncomfortable at-bats at the plate. San Diego Padres reliever Adrian Morejon was outstanding in his first […]
Padres stay rolling, win second consecutive series with all-around game
The San Diego Padres are returning to Petco Park today after a wonderful stretch for the Friars on the road.

Defensive mistakes prove costly, Padres head to rubber match
Last night started off great. It was a pitcher’s duel for five innings (and a no-hitter duel for 3 2/3 before a Gavin Sheets miscue). Heading into the eighth inning with the Pittsburgh Pirates leading the San Diego Padres 2-1, it felt like the Friars had a shot. Adrian Morejon was coming in to pitch […]
