Cooling off for real reasons. Last night's win by 4 gives the score a boost. Working against that, 2-5 in their last 7. Not the week they wanted.

Padres News

The San Diego Padres are in a cold streak, dropping their last game to the New York Mets 3-7 and now holding a disappointing 1-6 record over the past week with a run differential of -14. While Freddy Fermin's late-inning heroics were a bright spot, they were overshadowed by the team's overall struggles, which now raise questions about Manny Machado's hefty contract. As the Padres look to rebound against the Cincinnati Reds, they are relying on a renewed lineup featuring Jase Bowen and Samad Taylor, who have injected some life into the offense. With injuries complicating matters, the Padres must find a way to survive and turn around their season before it's too late.

Despite some thump, San Diego falls short in rubber match
The San Diego Padres forced a rubber match against the New York Mets on Saturday night with some late-inning heroics from catcher Freddy Fermin. Fermin showed similar heroics with a two-run shot on Sunday’s series finale. But, this time, it was too little, too late. That said, the box score doesn’t tell the whole story. […]
