Padres vs Diamondbacks: High Stakes in San Diego | MLB News

The Padres clawed back from the brink, narrowly avoiding a four-game sweep against the Dodgers, but their win doesn’t erase the eight losses in their last nine. Now, they face a pivotal three-game series against the Diamondbacks — both teams locked at 44-45, fighting for second in the NL West. This isn’t just any series: it’s their first home-and-away clash this year, following a split in Mexico City. Buehler, fresh off a brutal Cubs outing, takes the mound for San Diego, while Arizona counters with Pfaadt. Jhony Brito could make his season debut in Game 2, adding firepower after a dominant Triple-A run. Zac Gallen, Arizona’s ace, faces off against him. The finale features Michael King and Griffin Canning for the Padres, with Jose Cabrera and Merrill Kelly closing things out for the Diamondbacks — a series where every pitch could decide the division race.
