Padres Fall 3-2 to Giants, Offense Stifled

The Padres were held to just three hits in a 3-2 loss to the Giants at Oracle Park. Despite right‑hander Randy Vásquez’s 3‑20 ERA, the offense could not break through Trevor McDonald’s debut, who allowed only one run and eight strikeouts in 81 pitches. cricket-info.homes

Jackson Merrill’s solo homer was the only offensive highlight, with the rest of the lineup failing to reach base. Padres manager Craig Stammen said the team needs to fight harder against young pitchers like McDonald to avoid future shutouts.
