Pivetta shoves in return en route to Padres win
The San Diego Padres couldn’t have asked for much more in Nick Pivetta’s return to the mound. It’s been almost five months since the starting pitcher touched a big-league mound, having hit the 60-day IL after exiting his start on April 12. His rehab took quite a while, but he’s finally back. He returned in […]
Padres Joe Musgrove may have telegraphed his next career move
Rehabbing a sports injury can be a thankless job. All the time and effort can be for naught. Even considering Joe Musgrove’s extensive arm injury history, he was the one starting pitcher the Friar Faithful could rely on in a big game. Since undergoing Tommy John surgery in the winter of 2024, the big right-hander […]

Good Morning San Diego: Padres blast four home runs to beat Yankees, win series

Padres seeking rubber match victory for first series win of September
No matter what may you look at it, this was a tough one. After the San Diego Padres walked off the New York Yankees on Friday night, they took a gut punch in Game 2, losing 5-1. Much of that was thanks to starter Robbie Ray failing to get out of the third inning. After […]

Padres back themselves into a corner
It was a disastrous road trip. The San Diego Padres had an opportunity to put some distance between themselves and the trailing Arizona Diamondbacks. Instead they played poorly, losing five out of six games, and are now a half game back in the Wild Card chase. It was a team-wide failure, for sure. Poor pitching, […]

France hits 20th homer, but Padres still fall short in finale
It was a dismal road trip for the San Diego Padres. The club dropped five of six games and now returns home to Petco Park on the outside of the playoff picture. They aren’t outside it by much (half a game behind the Arizona Diamondbacks), but it hurts. San Diego was viewed as one of […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres return to Petco Park looking to rebound from dismal road trip

San Diego offense slumps in untimely loss to Reds
The San Diego Padres haven’t been doing the best lately. After their ridiculously hot streak, they’ve cooled down significantly, dropping six of their last nine games.
