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
Griffin Canning made his first start as a member of the San Diego Padres AND it came at Petco Park in front of the Friar Faithful. Canning ended with a no-decision, but left the game after five innings, allowing just one run on a solo home run to Drew Romo, with seven strikeouts. Canning did […]

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 […]

German Márquez falls apart, bats stay quiet as Padres lose three straight for first time in 2026
Last night, the San Diego Padres took a shellacking from the Chicago White Sox, eventually losing 8-2. The trouble started early, with Germán Márquez giving up six runs in the second inning. That inning was the difference maker in San Diego’s eventual loss to the Sox. It was a tough loss to take, but this […]
Griffin Canning arrives soon
The San Diego Padres starting rotation will receive a boost to start next week when right-handed starter Griffin Canning will make his long-awaited Padres debut. With his rehab window coming to a close on Sunday, Canning will most likely make his last start with El Paso on that date and then join the team Monday. […]
Good Morning San Diego: Missed opportunities, poor outing from German Marquez result in Padres’ loss to White Sox
The San Diego Padres had the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the first inning. Ty France was standing in the batter’s box after Xander Bogaerts battled through an at-bat to draw a walk. France has been one of the hottest hitters on the Padres roster in recent weeks, but he was […]

Padres fans seeing an improved Xander Bogaerts
San Diego Padres president of baseball operations/general manager A.J. Preller signed shortstop Xander Bogaerts to an 11-year/$280 million contract on Dec. 9, 2022. He had a storied career with the Boston Red Sox before becoming a free agent and signing with San Diego. With Boston he won five Silver Slugger awards, was an All-Star four […]
How the Padres’ No. 3 starter role battle is shaping up
The first month of the 2026 season is in the book. The main priority for the San Diego Padres is still rectifying their starting rotation. Injuries have made it impossible to figure out the rotation beyond Michael King and Randy Vasquez in the top two spots. The next order of business is deciding the future […]
Following sole series loss of April, Padres hoping to regain momentum against Sox
The San Diego Padres have had a streakier bullpen than usual lately. The two runs they combined to give up on Wednesday afternoon ended up costing the Friars incredibly in their 5-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs. It was their first series loss in the entire month of April. And here’s the thing. As much […]
Lake Elsinore sweeps 6-game series
The Lake Elsinore Storm became the first minor league affiliate to sweep a series this season and now have a winning record going into a tie for first in their division. The Low-A team, boasting many of the 2025 draftees of the Padres, has had many surprise players surge in the last couple of weeks. […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres hopeful day off at home will help them get back in win column
Xander Bogaerts has been the most consistent offensive player for the San Diego Padres through the first month of the season — his defense has been pretty good, too. The question, as the calendar turns to May, is can he maintain this pace? There is some reason to think that after three years in San […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres lose series to Cubs, get day off before hosting White Sox
The San Diego Padres dropped a series for the first time since the opening week of the season with a 5-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday, but they had opportunities to prevent that. In the end, the offense did not do enough, and the bullpen struggled to keep runs off the board. Miguel […]

Bullpen shows wear and tear, San Diego heads to rubber match
Last night was a game the San Diego Padres usually win. The Friars and the Chicago Cubs traded blows for the first five innings of the game before the Cubs took a lead they wouldn’t relinquish in the sixth. Walker Buehler had a semi-solid outing, getting through 4 2/3 innings and only allowing two runs. […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres get another stinker from bullpen, fall to Cubs
Walker Buehler was not sharp, but he was not terrible either. He allowed two runs on three hits and left the game after 4.2 innings with the score tied, 2-2. Kyle Hart came in from the bullpen to help Buehler and the San Diego Padres get out of the inning without allowing a run, but […]

Miller loses scoreless streak, but Padres hold on for the win over Chicago
The San Diego Padres nearly let this one slip. After a devastating 12-7 loss that included the Arizona Diamondbacks scoring 11 unanswered runs on Sunday, the Friars quickly got back in the win column with a 9-7 victory over the red-hot Chicago Cubs. Both starters were tagged for five runs, but the Friars had the […]
Good Morning San Diego: Manny Machado exits early; Mason Miller proves he is human; Padres take Game 1 against Cubs
The opening game of the three-game set between the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs was filled with twists and turns and ups and downs. Some — perhaps not former Padres manager Mike Shildt — would describe it as a rollercoaster. San Diego walked off the field with a 9-7 win over Chicago when […]
Padres win, Mason Miller sees scoreless innings streak come to an end
It was almost shocking to see. The most dominant closer in the MLB allowed a run. In fact, he allowed two runs. San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller worked 34 2/3 innings without allowing a runner to cross the plate. That streak came to an end in the top of the ninth inning against the […]
