Padres News
The San Diego Padres' season took another hit as they fell 1-2 to the New York Mets, a game marred by reckless baserunning that cost them four outs at home plate, effectively wasting a stellar outing from Walker Buehler. The Friars can't afford such mistakes if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive, especially with a record of 67-59 still hovering around .500. Meanwhile, Ha-Seong Kim's struggles with the Braves serve as a painful reminder of the choices A.J. Preller made last offseason. On a brighter note, Fernando Tatis Jr. showcased his defensive prowess with a spectacular play that robbed a grand slam, but the Padres need more than flashes of brilliance to capitalize on their recent 5-2 run. With mounting pressure and injuries, they must regroup quickly against the Mets in the second game of the series.
