Yuki Matsui, Jason Adam, Adrian Morejon and Wandy Peralta combined for just four hits across the final 3.2 innings as the Friars&#8217; bullpen dominance continued. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"72\">On the offensive side of things, Ty France got things started with a three-run home run in the second inning to take a 3-1 lead. San Diego exploded for another four runs in the eighth inning to add insult to injury as Sung-Mun Song collected a two-run pinch-hit single, Rodolfo Dur\u00e1n brought Song home with a double and Fernando Tatis Jr. put the final nail in the coffin with an RBI single. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"75\">Unfortunately, France was removed from the game in the ninth inning after getting hit by a 98.9 mph fastball earlier in the game. He initially stayed in the game, but manager Craig Stammen said he re-aggravated it on a slide in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"78\">He&#8217;s set to undergo X-rays and be evaluated on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7b\">Ahead of the eventual victory, the Padres signed a veteran utility man who was released from the Milwaukee Brewers. With his ability to play all over the infield and even corner outfield positions, the career .246 hitter will look to also provide some relief with his bat. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7e\">In other news, a Friars veteran elected to leave the team and head to free agency. After being designated for assignment earlier this week, he cleared waivers and was sent to Triple-A El Paso, but declined to test the free agency waters. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7h\">Finally, right-hander Nick Pivetta has a positive update on the road to his recovery. After throwing his first bullpen in his progression earlier this week, Padres insider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/2026\/06\/25\/padres-daily-the-win-they-needed-sears-return-bullpen-shows-depth-musgrove-pivetta-take-steps-taylors-trouble\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune <\/a>provided the promising update. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7k\">&#8220;Pivetta could conceivably be back pitching for the Padres in late July,&#8221; Acee said. &#8220;But those familiar with the process stress\u00a0the\u00a0timelines [of Pivetta and Joe Musgrove] are fluid based on how the pitchers feel as they take each step.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7n\">Here\u2019s all the latest Padres news and stories (click the headline for the full article):<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7q\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/padres\/onsi\/padres-veteran-elects-leave-organization-for-free-agency\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Padres Veteran Elects to Leave Organization, Head to Free Agency<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7t\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/padres\/onsi\/padres-sign-veteran-utility-man-ahead-series-dodgers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Padres Sign Veteran Utility Man Ahead of Series With Dodgers<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7w\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/padres\/onsi\/padres-nick-pivetta-positive-injury-update-return-timeline-clearer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Padres&#8217; Nick Pivetta Has Positive Injury Update as Return Timeline Gets Clearer<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7z\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/padres\/onsi\/padres-fernando-tatis-says-he-could-be-best-player-in-world\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Padres&#8217; Fernando Tatis Says He Could Be the &#8216;Best Player in the World&#8217;<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"82\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/padres\/onsi\/padres-suddenly-have-new-option-fix-starting-rotation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Padres Suddenly Have New Option to Fix Starting Rotation<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"85\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/padres\/onsi\/padres-release-lineup-series-opener-roki-sasaki-dodgers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Padres Release Lineup for Series Opener vs Roki Sasaki, Dodgers<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"88\">Padres Tweets of the Day<\/p>\n<p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">\u00a1QUE VIVA!
