SAN DIEGO -- Mason Miller doesn’t think he was tipping his pitches on Sunday in Milwaukee. But he’s certainly not going to rule out the possibility. Especially not when he looks back on that 1-2 slider below the zone to Jackson Chourio. That’s the one that has him a bit

MILWAUKEE – Can the Brewers close it out? Can the Padres hold them off and live for another day? That's pretty much what it all comes down to as the two clubs prepare to meet for Game 3 of the National League Division Series as it shifts to San Diego

MILWAUKEE -- It went in at 101 mph from the right hand of Mason Miller. It came back at 110 mph off the bat of Jackson Chourio.

MILWAUKEE -- Trying to fend off postseason elimination, the Padres have tabbed right-hander Nick Pivetta to start the crucial Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Brewers on Tuesday in San Diego, manager Craig Stammen announced.

MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers had the best record in baseball this season. The Padres finished as the hottest team in baseball. Their National League Division Series was always likely to be decided by the slimmest of margins. Like, a cable on the roof of American Family Field. Seriously. In the

MILWAUKEE -- Matt Erickson called it. Hours before Ty France's controversial fly ball -- a potential go-ahead home run in the ninth inning that struck a cable on the roof of American Family Field -- Erickson, the Brewers' third-base coach, took part in the usual exchange of lineup cards at

MILWAUKEE – For Game 2 of the National League Division Series, it's about as close to must-win as it gets for the Padres. But couldn't the same thing be said for the Brewers, even after they came away with a 3-2 win in a thrilling Game 1?

MILWAUKEE -- In their heart of hearts, the Padres would almost certainly have signed up for a split in Milwaukee this weekend. Petco Park has been a fortress this year. Win just one of the first two games of this National League Division Series at American Family Field, and you

MILWAUKEE – The Padres certainly didn’t see the best of MLB’s top regular-season team in 2026. When the Brewers visited San Diego in August, they squandered a seventh-inning lead in the opener, got blown out in Game 2 and then lost leads in the eighth inning and again in the

MILWAUKEE -- Officially, the Padres’ National League Division Series roster is unchanged from the group that swept the Cubs in the Wild Card Series earlier this week.

MILWAUKEE – The Padres have plenty of postseason experience dotting their starting rotation. The Brewers have Jacob Misiorowski.

MILWAUKEE -- It took Fernando Tatis Jr. 239 plate appearances before his first home run this year. He endlessly tinkered with his stance and mechanics. He grinded in the batting cage. All the while, the Padres struggled. In the postseason? Tatis homered on the very first pitch. He got a

For the first time in franchise history, the Padres have reached the postseason in three straight years. They’re making September clinch celebrations a habit. As with any postseason clinch, a number of questions follow about the days and weeks ahead. Here’s what you need to know:

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres’ Wild Card Series roster plan worked to absolute perfection. Nearly everybody contributed (aside from the Game 3 starter candidates, and, hey, after a two-game sweep of the Cubs, we’ll never know who that would’ve been).

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres made sure this year was different. The 2025 iteration of this National League Wild Card Series in Chicago left a sour taste in San Diego’s mouth, and rightfully so. An already struggling lineup flatlined. There were virtually no big moments. They didn’t have a raucous

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres spent September as the hottest team in baseball, surging into the postseason and securing a Wild Card Series at Petco Park. Gavin Sheets spent most of the month in a walking boot.

SAN DIEGO – If history tells us anything … this series isn’t finished. Not even close. The Padres and Cubs have met twice before in the postseason and both times -- the 1984 NLCS and last year’s NL Wild Card Series at Wrigley Field -- the series went the distance.

SAN DIEGO -- They packed Petco Park anticipating a party in the Gaslamp on Tuesday night. The Cubs could do little to stop it. The Padres wouldn't let it end.

SAN DIEGO -- It was already just about a perfect San Diego night. Michael King flirted with a no-hitter. Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts had all gone deep. The Padres were steamrolling the Cubs, on their way to an 8-0 victory in Game 1 of the National

SAN DIEGO -- Last postseason, the Padres and Cubs staged a tense and dramatic Wild Card Series at Wrigley Field. They were separated by a single run across three games in the type of series that left you wanting more.

SAN DIEGO -- The last time Joe Musgrove took the mound for the Padres, he was pitching them into the 2024 National League Division Series. Starting Game 2 of the Wild Card Series against Atlanta, Musgrove tore the UCL in his right elbow and required Tommy John surgery, keeping him

SAN DIEGO -- Ethan Salas is a 20-year-old who appears destined to catch for the Padres in the postseason. And if you’re wondering just how rare it is for a player that young to be catching games that important …

SAN DIEGO -- The 2025 Padres season just sort of … fizzled out. They struggled down the stretch, then arrived in Chicago for the National League Wild Card Series and lost to the Cubs in three games.

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres earned the right to a stress-free afternoon on Sunday. In late July, they sat in 11th place in the National League, three games below .500. The playoffs seemed a distant goal. Then, they reeled off a 41-18 finish -- a stretch so emphatic that they

SAN DIEGO -- For a second straight postseason, the Padres and Cubs will meet in the National League Wild Card Series. This time, it’ll be at Petco Park.
