SAN FRANCISCO -- Fernando Tatis Jr. has been a force at (or near) the top of the Padres’ lineup for, essentially, his entire career. So, yes, it was highly notable that Tatis batted fifth during the Padres' 10-5 victory over the Giants on Tuesday night at Oracle Park -- the

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Padres’ offense has been waiting for a game like this one. They beat the Giants, 10-5, on a Tuesday night when everybody mashed. Their stars mashed. Their role players mashed. And their newest callup mashed.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth was placed on the seven-day IL Tuesday after experiencing concussion symptoms related to a pitch he took off the jaw in Anaheim last month. In his place, the Padres recalled infielder Sung-Mun Song -- an obvious like-for-like replacement for Cronenworth on the

Feliciano. The agreement is subject to approval by Major League Baseball and the league’s

SAN DIEGO -- For the first time this season, the Padres have lost three straight. Starter Germán Márquez was hit hard for seven runs on Friday night -- including six in the second inning -- and San Diego’s offense offered little in the way of a response.

SAN DIEGO -- Here’s an early reason to believe in the Padres: Their superstars have largely struggled. And yet, they’re 19-11, one of the best records in baseball. Fernando Tatis Jr. still hasn’t homered. Jackson Merrill is striking out too much. Manny Machado, just as he was getting going, was

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres dropped Wednesday afternoon’s rubber match against the Cubs, 5-4 -- snapping a stretch in which they’d gone 6-0-1 across their last seven series. Here’s some analysis from Petco Park, after San Diego lost its first series since the final day of March:

SAN DIEGO -- Matt Waldron’s knuckleball is probably the Majors’ hardest pitch to catch. It also might be the hardest pitch for umpires to call. And it’s a pretty darn good example of what ABS is for in the first place.

SAN DIEGO -- Padres third baseman Manny Machado was out of the lineup on Tuesday for the team’s game against the Cubs at Petco Park -- a day after he dealt with a left calf cramp, which forced his early exit on Monday. He was back in the lineup on

SAN DIEGO -- On most nights, the Padres will take their chances with a bullpen like this one. This was not most nights. The Cubs broke open a close game late, scoring six runs against the San Diego ’pen, en route to an 8-3 victory on Tuesday. Here are some
