The victory on Sunday, April 13, 2025 at Petco Park was a milestone for the organization. With a final score of 6-0, San Diego closed the series with authority, backed by an impeccable pitching performance by Michael King, who pitched a complete game with only 2 hits allowed and 8 strikeouts.
Offensive power
Buzzy
From the first inning, the offense led by Mike Shildt showed clear intentions.
With singles by Luis Arráez and Oscar González, plus a timely hit by Yuli Gurriel, the San Diego Padres opened the scoring.
Jose Iglesias, who had a 2-2 day with a double, drove in two key runs to seal the game early.
The offensive production continued in the subsequent innings, highlighted by a Manny Machado double in the seventh inning that was followed by a Jason Heyward single.
In total, the San Diego Padres connected 10 hits and received 4 base on balls.
On the Rockies’ side, Kyle Freeland took the loss (0-3), allowing 4 runs in 4.1 innings.
The Colorado team continues to lack consistency in pitching and offense.

The accomplishment takes on even more significance against a divisional rival, cementing San Diego as one of the favorites for the 2025 postseason.
