Padres Collapse, Injuries Mount | MLB News

The Padres crumbled in a 12-7 loss to the Dodgers after a stunning collapse from their pitching staff, who surrendered 12 unanswered runs. Randy Vásquez, who gave up 4 earned runs in just 3 innings, fainted on his way for an X-ray and was taken to the ER — adding to the chaos. Catcher Freddy Fermin also exited early after a foul ball to the mask and is being evaluated for a concussion. Meanwhile, an All-Star reliever was re-injured and sent back to the IL, while Germán Márquez made his first appearance since May. With the team now at 43-43, the Padres are facing a brutal stretch amid mounting injuries and tough competition.
