Padres News
The Padres’ recent eight-run drubbing at the hands of the Angels serves as a stark reminder that even a solid 6-1 stretch can be derailed by a pitching disaster, and Matt Waldron’s rough return only amplifies concerns about the rotation. The team’s pitching staff is in a precarious state, especially against aces like José Soriano, who showcased their dominance last night. Thankfully, there’s reason for optimism with Ramón Laureano and Fernando Tatis Jr. continuing to contribute offensively, each driving in crucial runs recently. Meanwhile, Mason Miller is quietly making history, now scoreless through 31 2/3 innings, tantalizingly close to the Padres' record. As the Padres sit at 13-7, they need to regroup quickly to avoid letting one blowout snowball into a losing streak.
