Over the off-season the Padres traded for Cy Young award winner Blake Snell to they could get a little closer to the Dodgers. Then the Dodgers signed Cy Young award winner Trevor Bauer to try and keep that gap as large as possible. They faced each other on Sunday at Petco Park in a game the Padres absolutely had to…

To be a great team you must have great players. One of the greatest in the game made a catch for the ages on Saturday night, and he’s a big reason the Dodgers are a great team. Mookie Betts robbed Tommy Pham of a game-tying base hit with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning with an...

If the rest of the 18 meetings between these teams is anything like the one the Padres and Dodgers played on Friday night at Petco Park there will be a whole lot of Southern California baseball fans ordering Rogaine. L.A. was able to outlast S.D. for an 11-6 win in a game that took just about five hours and...

On April 5, Fernando Tatis Jr.’s shoulder popped in and out of the socket during a swing against the Giants. It’s called a subluxation, which also damages the labrum and hurts like (insert expletive of choice here). This is the kind of injury that could make a player miss an entire season. Tatis is missing 10 days. The Padres activated…

It’s a dream for thousands of kids around the country to play at baseball tournament in New York and see the hall of fame. But many of those dreams are being crushed and it’s all because it’s requiring everyone 12 and up to be vaccinated.

The first series of the season between the Padres and Dodgers, two of the best teams in baseball who are longtime division foes that don’t really like each other but have a healthy respect for one another, doesn’t need any more excitement. IT’S GETTING MORE EXCITEMENT ANYWAY. With San Diego County in the Orange Tier, Petco Park is able...

After a couple of uninspiring offensive performances the Padres knew they’d benefit from a fast start on Thursday in Pittsburgh. Four runs in the first inning did the trick. The Friars got the bats going early in a 8-3 win over the Pirates, finishing their first road trip of the year with a 5-2 record. 2nd baseman Jake Cronenworth...

Tim Arzaga, known as the SD Hat Guy, has a collection of more than 1,000 baseball caps, mostly Padres hats with unique designs, reports NBC 7’s Artie Ojeda.

His fist was raised high in the air in triumph. The ball hadn’t even landed yet, but it was as if Walker Buehler already knew what was about to happen. Over 300 feet away Mookie Betts was hastily backpedaling before leaping up at the last second. His eyes closed as he crashed into the wall. He had just made the…

Game 7 of the National League Championship did not disappoint for Dodgers fans. Enrique Hernandez and Cody Bellinger both homered as Los Angeles came from behind in the series to beat the Atlanta Braves, 4-3, advancing to the World Series for the third time in four years.

Clayton Kershaw woke up on Thursday morning with the lowest opening day ERA in history. But by the end of the afternoon, that was no longer the case. Kershaw allowed six runs in his ninth career opening day start, and the Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Colorado Rockies 8-5 at Coors Field in the first game of the 2021…

El Cajon native and Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove held the Texas Rangers without a hit in Friday night’s game, the first no-hitter in franchise history.

NBC 7’s Dave Summers heard reaction to Musgrove’s big day from San Diegans on the streets of Encinitas.

Grossmont High School alum Joe Musgrove made his first start in a Padres uniform (and his first outing wearing the #44 he chose to pay homage to his favorite player from childhood, Jake Peavy). If he makes the rest of his starts like this one his hometown team will be building a statue of him at Petco Park. Musgrove tossed…

When he won the 2018 American League Cy Young Award with Tampa Bay, Blake Snell averaged more than 11 strikeouts every nine innings. He might be even better in San Diego. Snell made his Padres debut on Friday night against the Diamondbacks and, while he wasn’t as sharp as he’d probably like to be, he showed his stuff is utterly…
