Padres Blew It Again, Tatis Shines | San Diego Padres News

The Padres’ bullpen imploded again, surrendering a late lead to the Reds in a 4-3 loss — their third blown game in four tries. Adrian Morejón gave up two runs in the eighth, sealing the fate despite Fernando Tatis Jr.’s two-homer heroics in the ninth. A brutal weekend of missed chances continued, as they went zero-for-ten with runners in scoring position and failed to capitalize on early leads. Manager Craig Stammen blamed poor execution, while Tatis admitted they need to deliver when it matters most. Reds starter Nick Lodolo pitched well against them again, and though the Padres had multiple opportunities, they couldn’t convert. Tatis was the lone bright spot — but even his power wasn’t enough to overcome the bullpen’s collapse. The team needs to find consistency at the plate and trust their relief corps to hold leads if they want to turn things around.
