Padres Pitching Surges Amid Offense Struggles | San Diego Padres News

Padres’ offense is in freefall, hitting just two of twelve with runners in scoring position and struggling to score after the second inning — Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill among those stuck in slumps. The inconsistency is hurting their standings as they fall behind teams they need to catch. But here’s the silver lining: the starting pitching has been electric, with four straight quality starts from Michael King, Robbie Ray, Walker Buehler, and Casey Mize — the first time since May and eight in eleven games. This rotation surge is giving the bullpen breathing room and turning wins into a real possibility. While the bats need to wake up, this pitching revival is the team’s biggest bright spot yet.
