Padres Fall Short Again | San Diego Padres News

Padres fall again, this time 4-2 to the Mets, as Michael King held strong through six innings but couldn’t stop a key fourth-inning homer that gave New York a lead they never surrendered. San Diego scratched back with a fifth-inning run on Tatis’ double, but missed clutch opportunities repeatedly.

Bogaerts left with cramps but’s expected to be fine.
