Randy Vasquez pitched his best game of the season, Jackson Merrill homered, Luis Arraez added 3 hits including an RBI single, and the San Diego Padres won the opener of their crucial 4-game series against the Colorado Rockies, 2-0 at Petco Park. Vasquez tossed 6 innings of 4-hit baseball, striking out 9 and walking none. The Padres’ bullpen was fantastic again, tossing 3 perfect innings, striking out 5 Rockies. Vasquez, Jeremiah Estrada, Mason Miller and Robert Suarez combined to retire the last 12 Rockies to come to the plate. Arraez was the only Padre with more than 1 hit, and they were all singles besides Merrill’s homer, his 11th of the season. Jackson has been coming around his last few games, picking up some big hits and slugging extra-base hits all over the field like he did last year in that magical rookie season. Manny Machado continues to struggle. The Pads’ superstar 3rd baseman went 0-4 tonight, on the heels of his 0-12 series against the Cincinnati Reds, a series the Pads lost 2-1. Manny is batting .108 in 9 games this month after hitting just .222 in August. Fernando Tatis Jr., who went 0-4, has also struggled with both average and power this season. The Pads defense continues to shine in key moments. Left-fielder Ramon Laureano made an outstanding catch up against the wall in foul territory to rob Mike Moniak to save a run in the 1st inning, and Machado- who committed a rare error earlier in the game- started a 5-4-3 double-play in the 3rd. The LA Dodgers were off tonight, so the Padres have moved to within 2.5 games of the defending World Series champs with 15 games left to play. The Pads are 3.5 games behind the 1st-place Chicago Cubs and 3 games ahead of the 3rd-place NY Mets in the NL Wild Card chase. ***** ‘LIVE’ Instant Reaction from Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber ——- The Padres and Rockies play game 2 of this 4-game series tomorrow night, with 1st pitch set for 5:40pm PT.

Pinch-hitter Bryce Johnson (?) struck out with the tying run on 3rd base to end the game, Mike Shildt wasted 7 shutout innings from Nick Pivetta, and the San Diego Padres blew their 2nd game in a row, 2-1 to the Cincinnati Reds at Petco Park. The loss leaves the Padres 3 games beind the LA Dodgers in the NL West. Gavin Sheets led off the 9th with a double. Ramon Laureano popped out, Jackson Merrill flew to deep center, moving Iglesias to 3rd base. Johnson pinch-hit for Mason McCoy, who was a defensive replacement that took Ryan O’Hearn out of the game in the 8th inning. Mike Shildt had earlier inexplicably taken Pivetta out of the game after 7 innings, and even more inexplicablybrought Kyle Hart into the game. Pivetta had thrown just 101 pitches in 7 innings. Fernando Tatis Jr.’s solo home run in the bottom of the 5th inning has given Nick Pivetta and the Padres a 1-0 lead over the Reds. Ramon Laureano made a leaping catch to rob Austin Hays of a game-tying homer in the 7th. Pivetta went 7 shutout innings, giving up only 4 hits while walking just 1 and striking out 8. ***** ‘LIVE’ Instant Reaction from Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber ——- The Pads welcome in the lowly Colorado Rockies for a 4-game series starting tomorrow night, with 1st pitch set for 6:40pm PT.

Padres' pitching woes continue as King returns and Suarez stumbles. Can San Diego recover in time for the playoffs? Host Javier Reyes breaks down the San Diego Padres' recent game against the Cincinnati Reds, focusing on Michael King's comeback performance and Robert Suarez's struggles as closer. The analysis covers potential batting order changes, including Ryan O'Hearn's move to the second spot and Manny Machado's ongoing slump. Javi also tackles the hot-button issue of MLB's future CBA negotiations, dissecting the pros and cons of a potential salary cap and its impact on competitive balance.

Robert Suarez gave up a 2-run home run to Tyler Stephenson in the 9th inning, and the San Diego Padres’ offense managed just 3 hits in a 4-2 loss to Cincinnati Reds that spoiled the return of Ace Michael King and evened up this 3-game series at 1 apiece with the finale set for tomorrow evening at Petco Park. Stephenson hammered a low and inside sinker from Suarez just fair down the left-field line to win it, just 5 innings after being robbed of a homer to right field on a spectacular catch by Fernando Tatis Jr., who has robbed 5 fingers this season. Suarez (L, 4-6) walked Lux with 2 outs to get to Stephenson. The Reds hit 2 solo home runs early off King, who looked good for a guy starting for the 1st time since August 8th and for just the 2nd time since May 18th. The San Diego offense certainly didn’t help him much, managing just 2 runs on 3 hits the whole game. The Padres scored 2 runs in the 5th inning, 1 on Jackson Merrill’s 2nd RBI triple in as many nights, scoring Ramon Laureano, and the other on Jake Cronenworth’s sacrifice fly that scored Merrill. Jose Iglesias was hit by a pitch and stole 2nd with 1 out, but Freddy Fermin struck out and Fernando Tatis Jr popped out in foul ground to end the inning. Merrill doubled with 1 out in the 7th, but pinch-hitter Luis Arraez struck out and Cronenworth flied out to end the threat. Manny Machado flew out to the warning track with Tatis on 2nd with 2 outs in the 8th, but other than that they didn’t get much going tonight. King went 5 innings, giving up just 3 hits and 2 runs while walking just 1 and striking out 2. He missed almost 3 months with inflammation in his shoulder, came back on August 8th, and developed swelling in his knee after just 2 innings. The Padres’ long and set-up relievers kept the Reds off the board just like last night, until Cincy got to Suarez in the 9th. King’s return couldn’t have come fast enough for this Padres’ rotation that has been shaky at best without him, with Dylan Cease having a down year, Yu Darvish just rounding into form after missing the 1st 3 months of the season and the absolute lack of a 5th starter. Only Nick Pivetta, (13-5) who will start this series’ finale tomorrow against the Reds, has given the Padres a consistent winner in the rotation so far. Merrill went 2-4 with the double, triple, RBI & run scored. He was the only Padre with more than 1 hit.

Fernando Tatis Jr.’s sacrifice fly scored Jake Cronenworth with the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, and the San Diego Padres walked off the Cincinnati Reds 4 to 3 at Petco, their 7th walkoff win of this season. Jackson Merrill tied it with a 2-run triple in the 6th, after Gavin Sheets- who went 3-3 in a perfect night at the plate- put the Pads on the board with an RBI double that same inning. The bullpen was sensational again tonight, with SIX RELIEVERS- Alek Jacob, Jeremiah Estrada, Adrian Morejon, Mason Miller, Robert Suarez and Wandy Peralta (win, 6-1) giving the Padres a scoreless outing tonight behind Yu Darvish, who went 5 2/3 innings. ***** ‘LIVE’ Instant Reaction from Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber ——- The Pads and Reds play game 2 of this 3-game series tomorrow, with 1st pitch set for 6:40pm PT.
