Padres Playoff Push Hangs in Balance | San Diego Padres News

The Padres’ rough road trip ended with a 7-3 loss, blowing a three-run lead and slipping further into the wild card race. Top prospect Ethan Salas made his debut but went hitless — though he didn’t look overwhelmed. Meanwhile, Casey Mize’s stint has been disastrous, posting a 6.67 ERA and giving up at least four runs in four of his last six starts. On the bright side, Ty France crushed his 20th homer, sparking an early lead and showing signs of redemption after his Reds days. With playoff hopes hanging by a thread, the Padres need Mize to rebound fast and the lineup to step up — or risk missing the postseason entirely.
