Rock bottom territory. Down by 4 last night. That result hits the score hard. Compounding things, winning just 2 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down.

Padres News

The San Diego Padres are reeling after a disheartening 8-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox, marking their fourth consecutive defeat and putting their promising start in jeopardy. Germán Márquez's disastrous second inning, where he surrendered six runs, epitomized the team's struggles on the mound. With a 7.4 runs allowed per game in the last week, the pitching woes are glaring. Meanwhile, the bats are cold, failing to support the pitching staff, they managed just two runs in the latest shellacking. Amid this turmoil, ownership changes are on the horizon with Kwanza Jones and José E. Feliciano taking the reins, potentially signaling a fresh direction for the franchise. As they prepare to face the White Sox again, the Padres need to find some spark, or risk losing ground in the division while waiting for reinforcements like Griffin Canning.
