April 2027
I've decided to include a few noteworthy bits of league news, rather than just Padres exclusive news. League news will be denoted by a colored date.
4/7/2027
SS Brendan Rodgers is expected to miss 2 weeks after being hit in the foot by a pitch in today’s game.
4/8/2027
The Angels’ Nolan Kingham tossed a no-no against the A’s today. Kingham struck out 9 and walked 2 in the 5-0 victory.
4/27/2027
A.J. Reed of the Reds hit his 300th homerun in today’s game against St. Louis. Reed went 2-5 with 2 RBI, but his team lost 9-8.
4/29/2027
Toronto’s Brad White has extended his hitting streak to 20 games. White went 3-4, including a grand slam, in today’s 7-6 victory over the Rays. For the season, White is hitting .368.
Monthly Review
The San Diego Padres got off to a hot start, posting the second best record in the MLB at 16-7. Outside of San Diego the NL West is looking like a relatively weak division, and the Padres have already jumped out to a 5.5 game lead over the second place Dodgers. The pitching staff for San Diego has looked lights out as they lead the NL in practically every statistical category.
