The Padres had everything lined up to snap their six-game losing streak.

 

Michael King dominated the Dodgers through six innings, shutting down Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman while carrying a 3-0 lead into the seventh. Jackson Merrill homered, Gavin Sheets and Xander Bogaerts delivered clutch RBI hits, and San Diego looked ready to even the series.

 

Then everything unraveled.

 

Adrián Morejón surrendered a game-changing grand slam to Teoscar Hernández, the Dodgers stole another one-run game from the Padres, and San Diego’s losing streak reached seven games.

 

The numbers are becoming impossible to ignore.

 

• 7 straight losses

• 51 runs allowed over the last five games

• Another late bullpen collapse

• Another one-run loss to the Dodgers

 

We’ll break down Michael King’s outstanding outing, Morejón’s disastrous seventh inning, Jackson Merrill’s continued emergence, the bullpen struggles, Craig Stammen’s decisions, and whether this team is running out of time to stop the bleeding.

The San Diego Padres didn’t just lose Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley Field—they got completely exposed.

 

The Chicago Cubs completed the sweep with a stunning 23-3 victory, blasting eight home runs and scoring 23 runs as the Padres dropped their fifth straight game. Even more alarming? The Cubs hit 13 home runs over the final two games of the series, exposing major concerns with the back end of San Diego’s starting rotation.

 

Walker Buehler was tagged for 9 earned runs, Kyle Hart surrendered 5 earned runs, and utility player Rodolfo Duran was forced to pitch late in the blowout as the Cubs kept piling on. Dansby Swanson delivered one of the greatest offensive performances of the season with three home runs and eight RBIs, while Michael Conforto added two homers and Seiya Suzuki, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Michael Busch joined the home run parade.

 

For the Padres, Ty France collected two hits and an RBI, Song homered, Jake Cronenworth finished with three hits, but none of it mattered after Chicago built a 9-0 lead through three innings.

 

Is this simply a bad series…or is San Diego’s rotation becoming the biggest problem on this team?

 

Join us LIVE as we break down everything from another frustrating afternoon for the Padres.
