Final: Padres 1, Dodgers 0
Michael King was brilliant. Miguel Andujar homered for the game's only run. Mason Miller didn't look at all like Mason Miller for 2 1/2 hitters. But he bounced back and nailed down his MLB-best 15th save.
Michael King was great. The offense didn’t exist til the ninth inning. Gavin Sheets has a massively clutch homer. Mason Miller locks it down.
They’re calling it the most 2026 Padres game to ever be played.
MLB is having a moment for the exact same reason that baseball scorebook makers are seeing sales double.
In our hyper-connected digital age, people are yearning for a bit of the phone-free, slowed down past. An afternoon at the park offers exactly that

The @Padres have come back from 4+ runs down to win 5 times this month.
That ties the 1998 Phillies for the most 4+ run comeback wins by any team in April in MLB history.
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
Final: Padres 5, Mariners 2
The Padres have won eight straight and 12 of 14. Mason Miller, who nailed down his sixth save, just moved past Randy Jones into second place in franchise history with 30 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings. He's three shy of Cla Meredith's record.
Holy moly. The Padres score five in the ninth and walk off the Mariners. Their win streak hits seven. Jackson Merrill's two-run double wins it, a few innings after he'd taken a home run back from Julio Rodriguez.
The Padres' City Connect 2.0 uniforms dropped Thursday and immediately broke records.
Petco Park surpassed $1.1M in single-day retail sales, doubling the previous record of $550K set on Opening Day 2023.

The @Padres in the 12th inning tonight:
4 runs scored
3 pitches seen
They're the only MLB team to score 4+ runs in an inning despite seeing fewer than 4 pitches that inning (since pitches were first tracked in 1988).
