Just 3 games into the season. A rough patch, by the numbers. Last night's win by 3 gives the score a boost. Tempering that, the -6 run differential tells a worse story than the record.

Padres News

Randy Vásquez stepped up in a big way for the Padres, delivering a two-hit performance in last night's 3-0 win over the Tigers, reviving discussions about his place in the rotation. This victory, while a breath of fresh air in an otherwise rocky start to the season with a 1-2 record and a -6 run differential, showcased the potential of a pitching staff coping with the absence of Yu Darvish, who is likely sidelined through 2026 after elbow surgery. The energy at Petco Park was palpable as fans celebrated this small success, even if Statcast isn’t feeling it with a measly .268 xwOBA and only 31.7% hard-hit rate this week. Mason Miller's entrance as the Padres' newest closer was another highlight, signaling a fresh chapter even amidst the challenges of early season injuries and performance woes.

What we saw in an entertaining first weekend with the Padres
SAN DIEGO -- Man, it’s good to have baseball back. Fun Opening Weekend at Petco Park. Sure, Thursday’s opener was a bit of a dud. But the Opening Day atmosphere is always top-notch. And I thought the games on Friday and Saturday were both highly entertaining.
