Colorado Rockies

The bizarre scene involving the two fans caused Acuña to fall to the ground.

Two fans ran into the outfield at Coors Field in Denver and made contact with Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr.

On Sunday afternoon in Denver, Padres lefty Blake Snell, as he usually does as the season progresses, looked like one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball.

For the last week and a half, the Padres have alternated a really good offensive game with a game where they score exactly one run. On Wednesday they put up a 10-spot on the Mariners so the fear was, even in the thin air at Coors Field, they were due to turn in another stinker. That was most definitely NOT…

This is more like it. After scoring a total of three runs in their first two games the Padres offense showed what it’s capable of on Saturday night in an 8-4 win over the Rockies at Petco Park. It was their new superstar shortstop who set the tone. Xander Bogaerts launched his first home run in a Padres uniform...

If this happens in June nobody is going to care. But, since it’s happening in March, right on the heels of an off-season with all kinds of hype, losing two in a row feels like the sky is falling. The Padres fell to 0-2 on the season with a 4-1 loss to the Rockies at Petco Park on Friday...

The Padres will be opening their 2023 season on Thursday with a slightly later start than they expected. Rain pushed the start time back from 1:10 pm to 6:40 pm. The delay is not going to damped the spirit of the Friar Faithful. On Thursday morning San Diego officially named their Opening Day roster. It’s split down the middle with…

From balmy Los Angeles to snowy Cleveland, World Series games have been played under brutal conditions. Here are the hottest and coldest games in MLB history.

The Padres are really bad at Coors Field (losers of 14 of their last 16 there). Yu Darvish has been really good pretty much anywhere he takes the mound (undefeated with an ERA of 1.00 in his last four starts). Something had to give on Saturday night in Denver.

In a tight playoff race there’s dangerously little wiggle room. So, the Padres having to play three games in Denver with the Phillies and Brewers breathing down their neck in the National League Wild Card hunt is not exactly great timing. The Friars came in losers of 13 of their last 15 games at Coors Field. That string of futility…

Diaz’s walkout song “Narco” has taken the baseball world by storm this season. Learn more about the performance the Mets reportedly have in store for fans at Citi Field.

Juan Soto got the most attention in his first game as a San Diego Padre, but it was another brand new Padre that got the biggest hit. After walking in his first at bat in San Diego, Soto came in to score on a bases load walk 3 batters later. Next up, was Brandon Drury, also playing his first game…

In the 1st inning of Sunday’s game the Padres lost Manny Machado to an ankle injury. You’d figure seeing the MVP frontrunner go down that early means things could only get better. They didn’t. San Diego got beat up again on Sunday, suffering an 8-3 loss to the Rockies. It’s their 10th straight defeat at Coors Field, an almost...

Entering Saturday’s game at Coors Field the Padres were in 1st place in the National League West … but they’d lost eight straight games in Colorado. Going from sea level to 5,280 feet in the air is not exactly easy but that’s a long losing skid for anyone, anywhere, and now it’s on the brink of reaching double digits....

Entering play Sunday, there was a chance the San Diego Padres would be in sole possession of first place in the National League West when play ended Sunday. All that needed to happen was for the Los Angeles Dodgers to lose in San Francisco, while the Padres won in San Diego. The Padres didn’t do their part. The Padres...

Saturday was already doing to be a long one for the Padres. They were playing the first scheduled doubleheader in Petco Park’s history and the first one in San Diego since 1998. It ended up being a lot longer than expected, and not just because they played extra innings in one of the games. Before the game they added pitchers…

Joe Musgrove doesn’t need a lot of run support to win a game. When he gets it, the Padres are nearly impossible to beat. Musgrove threw 6.0 more shutout innings, striking out eight in a 9-0 blowout of the Rockies to start a 4-game weekend set against the Rockies on Friday night at Petco Park. Musgrove’s ERA drops to 1.50…

“I took a 95 MPH line drive to my head,” Kelsey Wingert said in a tweet, along with a photo that showed a row of stitches on her forehead.
