Padres in Free Fall Before Deadline | San Diego Padres News

The Padres’ playoff hopes are fading fast as they crumble under another brutal loss — six to one against the Royals. Griffin Canning imploded early, surrendering a two-run homer in the first and lasting just three and two-thirds innings. Fernando Tatis Jr. delivered a solo shot, but the offense went silent, while Salvador Perez crushed his 315th homer — just two shy of the Royals’ all-time record. With 14 games behind in the division and 3.5 out of a wild card spot, the Padres are looking more and more like trade candidates before the deadline.
