Padres

The Padres had their worst week in a while, but the guys aren’t ready to panic – yet.

No part of a losing streak is enjoyable. But, even in the midst of a 6-game skid, what the Padres experienced on Thursday afternoon is gut-wrenching. Gavin Sheets hit a pair of home runs and drove in five, San Diego took the lead twice in extra innings, and still managed to lose to the Blue Jays 7-6 in 11 innings,…

Anthony Santander and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered, Chris Bassitt and three relievers combined on a five-hitter and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the San Diego Padres 3-0 on Tuesday night. The shutout was Toronto’s first of the season. The Padres failed to score a run for the third time this season. San Diego lost its fourth straight, matching its...

The Padres will not be able to win the Vedder Cup in 2025. But, there is a way to not lose it. They’ll just have to do to the Mariners what Seattle did to them: sweep Seattle in their own ballpark. The Mariners took the series finale 6-1, finishing a sweep in San Diego where they held the Friars to…

If you lose a game because the other team was better than you, that’s OK. But if you lose a game because you wasted a bunch of chances to score, essentially beating yourself, that’s not OK. The Padres were guilty of the latter on Saturday night in a 4-1 loss to the Mariners at Petco Park. San Diego went...

After years of the fans calling the Padres vs. Mariners showdowns The Vedder Cup, in 2025 the clubs decided to make it official. They even got Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder (who grew up in San Diego and achieved musical stardom in Seattle) to donate a guitar to make into an official trophy awarded to the series winner each year….

The matchup is named for Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, who has roots in San Diego and Seattle, reports NBC 7’s Derek Togerson.

Merrill, Machado, Tatis and Bogaerts all left their mark in the last week.

Tatis’ first walk-off hit came last September. He now has three including Tuesday’s epic blast.

Before the finale of their three-game series in Colorado the Rockies decided to fire manager Bud Black. In more than eight years at the helm the former Padres skipper and San Diego State product probably won more games than he should have given the lack of talent the organization gave him to work with. Buddy’s last game at the...

What’s more impressive: throwing a shutout at Coors Field or scoring 21 runs in a big league baseball game? There’s really no wrong answer so I suppose the answer is behind Door #3: doing both in the same night. That’s what the Padres did in a 21-0 demolition in Denver. Let’s start with Stephen Kolek. In his first MLB...

The bullpen and Fernando Tatis Jr. will probably be fine, but right now things look shaky.

Is this the best version of Fernando Tatis Jr.? And one habit of Mike Shildt’s that players love.

Xander Bogaerts went 2 for 4 with three RBIs, Nick Pivetta struck out nine in 5 1/3 innings and the San Diego Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 7-4 on Tuesday night. It was San Diego’s most runs since scoring 10 against the Chicago Cubs on April 14. Bogaerts singled up the middle with two outs in the first inning…

The Padres offense continues to flounder in a 4-1 loss to the Rays. San Diego has scored one total run in its last three games.

Padres starter Michael King got some tough luck in his start on Friday night against the Rays at Petco Park.

The Padres have dropped two straight series for the first time in 2025. The On Friar Podcast explains why it’s not a big deal.

Randy Vasquez had his worst start of the season, giving up six runs in two innings in the 6-4 loss to Detroit.

Padres infielder Luis Arraez was placed on the injured list with a concussion after a collision in Houston on Sunday night.

Leadoff walks are bad. Every pitching coach will tell you that. It’s a message I’m sure Ruben Niebla will be reiterating after leadoff walks cost his staff in a 3-2 loss to the Astros in Houston on Saturday night. The Padres built a 2-0 lead on the strength of a monstrous solo home run from Fernando Tatis Jr. and...
