PADRES POSTCAST: KING FADES LATE, Padres BLOW 3-0 Lead to Dodgers and Fall 4-3: 7 Straight Losses

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. #Padres #Dodgers #MLB #SanDiegoPadres #LosAngelesDodgers #MichaelKing #JacksonMerrill #ShoheiOhtani #FernandoTatisJr #MannyMachado #MLBPostgame #LockedOnPadres 🎙️Padres Postcast with Host Jim "Gries" Grieshaber The Padres and Dodgers play gane 3 of this 4-game series tomorrow night at Dodger Stadium.
