The San Diego Padres are 12-6, which is the second-best record in baseball. Seattle is just 8-11 to open the season, suffering a crushing blow last night when the Padres rallied with five in the bottom of the ninth. It was San Diego's biggest ninth-inning comeback win since 2019. That makes seven-straight wins for the Padres, as they improved to 10-1 in their last 11. San Diego has outscored its opponents by 26 runs during the win streak — almost four runs per contest. I stepped in front of the train last night. Not today. Riding the hot hand. Make the play on San Diego.
