Padres End Skid with Shutout | San Diego Padres News

The Padres silenced the doubters with a crisp 5-0 shutout over the Reds, ending a three-game skid and a four-game road losing streak. Michael King dominated for six innings, striking out six while allowing no earned runs, and seven different hitters contributed offensively, led by Manny Machado’s four-hit day. San Diego now sits at 73-65, while Cincinnati slips to 65-73. The Padres’ offense showed up but struggled with walks—zero in this game, their lowest since July 26. Machado continues his hot streak, hitting better in his last 63 games than his previous 72. Randy Vásquez (solid, low-walks) starts for San Diego against Nick Lodolo (struggling ERA and walks). This divisional showdown at Great American Ball Park is critical as both teams fight for positioning late in the season.
