Padres News
Fernando Tatis Jr. is back with a vengeance, having made a swing adjustment that ended his home run drought and restored him as the Padres' most dangerous hitter. However, it wasn’t enough to overcome a disappointing 4-2 loss to the New York Mets, where starter Michael King was left stranded without the support he desperately needed. King has been solid, but the lack of offensive production continues to haunt the Padres, who finished their road trip with a mediocre 3-3 record. Jackson Merrill continues to impress, showing promise for the future, while Matt Waldron finds himself at a crossroads. With the team sitting at 68-60 and a lukewarm vibe surrounding them, it’s clear the Padres must find consistency as they inch closer to playoff contention.
