Michael King Shuts Down Yankees | San Diego Padres News

Michael King delivered a masterclass against his former team, tossing six shutout innings and extending his scoreless streak to over 21 innings—his sixth quality start in a row. Facing mentor Gerrit Cole, King stayed focused on competition, not revenge, and helped secure their first series win in weeks, keeping them alive in the wild-card race. Battling heat and humidity, he made key pitches, including a clutch out with the bases loaded. Meanwhile, Nick Pivetta returns to the mound Monday after a rehab stint, adding depth to the rotation. And Fernando Tatis Jr. joined Jackson Merrill as the only teammates to hit 20 homers and steal 20 bases this season—showing this team is firing on all cylinders as the season winds down.
