The Padres of San Diego perform rare exploits in the history of the MLB.
Six bleaching in the first 16 team games, all the zeros coming home. By granting only 11 points in their first 10 home games, all win. And in addition to that, a start of 13-3 corresponding to the best in the history of the franchise.
Then: the start of what should be a good series and the biggest challenge that San Diego was confronted at home when the Cubs of Chicago comes in town on Monday evening to open a series of three games in a battle of division chiefs.
The Padres have become the first team since the Cleveland team in 2017 to sweep a series of three games and not allow to run. Michael King crowned the weekend with the first bleaching of his career, a 6-0 Hitado against Colorado who gave San Diego 10 consecutive victories at home to open 2025.
Padres manager Mike Shildt said his team has a wide advantage in the field due to the support of crowds. They sold eight times in 10 home games.
“It is an atmosphere similar to playoffs almost all matches,” he said.
The padres of the paadres was another world. San Diego is the first team from Cleveland in 1966 to naked six laundils in the first 16 games.
The right-hander Dylan ceases (1-1, 7.98 ERA) will have a bar to erase when he takes the mound for the opening of the series on Monday. He may come from the worst of his 159 departures from MLB, granting nine points in four rounds on Tuesday evening during a 10-4 defeat against athletics in West Sacramento, California.
Cessing is 4-2 with an MPM of 2.38 in seven career departures against the Cubs, beating them twice last year.
Meanwhile, Chicago arrives in town in fresh by taking two of the three of the Los Angeles dodgers. The Sunday evening bus journey on the Interstate-5 was happy for the Cubs after a 4-2 victory in the final of the series which saw Pete Crow-Armstrong struck two solo circuits.
It was a positive end for a difficult day for Chicago, which revealed that the left -hander Justin Steele would undergo a reconstructive elbow operation on Friday and will miss the rest of the season. Steele was 3-1 with an MPM of 4.76 in four departures this year and worked seven lanches of laundering last Monday evening in a 7-0 victory against Texas.
“You are not only replacing Justin Steele,” said the start of Cubs Jameson Taillon. “You do your best to limit the damage and I hope to keep our team in the matches. But yes, you are not going to replace a guy like that. It’s a cruel world, and the game does not know if you put the work or not.”
The right-hander Jameson Taillon (1-1, 6.06 ERA) will start for Chicago on Monday evening. His last outing was on Tuesday, when he received a decision without decision after having given three points and five strokes in six rounds of a 10-6 victory against Texas. Taillon, which walked one and withdrew six years, is 2-0 with an MPM of 2.19 in four career starts
Against the paadres.
The Cubs took two of the three from San Diego to Wrigley Field earlier this month.
