Padres Miss Wild Card Chance Against Mets | San Diego Padres News

The Padres blew a chance to seize momentum, falling 4-2 to the Mets in a frustrating series finale. Despite Michael King’s strong start and a late rally, San Diego’s offense went cold, managing just five hits. The Mets jumped ahead early with a two-run homer, and though the Padres answered with a pair of doubles, they couldn’t hold off a late surge that included a throwing error and a fourth run in the eighth. A ninth-inning run cut the deficit to 4-2, but no big hit came — leaving them with a bitter loss that keeps their wild card race tight. Now, they turn to the Twins starting Friday, needing to find their bats fast. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
