April 3, 2026 (Boston) -- A change of scenery has not had much of a positive effect so far on the bats of the San Diego Padres.
 
The Boston Red Sox, in their 2026 home opener, beat the Padres 5-2 on Friday afternoon. With the loss, the Padres lost their fifth of seven games to start the Major League Baseball season, falling to the National League West basement with a 2-5 record.
 
While the Padres' pitching has been good enough to compete, San Diego's offense, which struggled to come alive at Petco Park during opening week, continues to remain quiet.

September 20, 2024 (San Diego) -- Padres and fans had an excellent week with two shutouts Sept. 13 & 14 and an eventual sweep of the San Francisco Giants followed by a series-clinching 9/18 shutout against the Houston Astros.
 
These games showcased the Padres’ strong pitching including Dylan Cease and Joe Muscrove, and powerful batting. Two single game home runs by Manny Machado in two of those three shutouts led to decisive victories against the Astros and a commendable Giants sweep. Padres’ performance keeps America's finest city competitive for National League wild card standings.
