Padres Cling to Wild Card Hope | San Diego News

The Padres narrowly lost 4-2 to the Mets, slipping to 68-60 and clinging to the final wild-card spot by one game. Michael King pitched solidly but took the loss after giving up a key homer in the fourth. Tatis Jr. kept his hot streak alive with an RBI double, while Sheets added a single — but it wasn’t enough. Xander Bogaerts exited due to cramping, though the team says he’s fine and just being cautious. A former Padre pitcher has joined the Phillies, who are now ahead in the race. Meanwhile, Jason Adam is making progress in his shoulder rehab, feeling stronger than ever — no pain, best he’s felt all year — though still a few weeks away from returning.
