Padres Turn It Around Post-Deadline | San Diego Padres News

The Padres ended a six-game road trip with a loss to the Mets, dropping to 3-3 on the trip despite playing strong baseball—winning 18 of their last 25 games. Though they only managed two hits against former Padre Robert Stock, the team remains locked in for the final Wild Card spot, leading by 1.5 games. After a rough stretch with just six quality starts before the trade deadline (mostly from Michael King), the rotation has surged since—thanks to Robbie Ray and Casey Mize—posting nine quality starts in 16 games, including four straight from Mize, Buehler, Ray, and King, a feat not seen since May 2025. On defense, Fernando Tatis Jr. continues to shine, snagging his third outfield assist of the year with a flawless throw to prevent a run, adding to his earlier grand slam robbery. This stretch shows real progress on both sides of the ball as the Padres find ways to win and build momentum. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
