The San Diego Padres had the game right where they wanted it… and let it slip away.

After being no-hit into the 5th inning, the Padres fought back with home runs from Miguel Andújar and Nick Castellanos to tie it. But the Chicago Cubs answered with timely two-out hitting — including a massive 4-run inning that flipped the game.

Then came the moment.

Bases loaded. Nobody out. Bottom of the 8th. Down 5-3.

The Padres got ONE run.

A sacrifice fly from Fernando Tatis Jr. — who just missed his first home run of the season — followed by a crushing inning-ending double play off the bat of Manny Machado.

Game over.

San Diego falls 5-4 despite a late push, as missed opportunities, two-out damage, and bullpen leaks define the night.

🎙️ Padres POSTCAST with Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber

The Padres are off tomorrow before taking on the Chicago White Sox for a 3-game series starting friday night at Petco, with 1st pitch set for 6:40 PT.

We will be here right after the game with your PADRES POSTCAST, hosted by Jim "Gries" Grieshaber.

The San Diego Padres win AGAIN, taking down the Chicago Cubs 9-7 at Petco Park for their NINTH straight home win in April — but this one had EVERYTHING.

From early offense to another shaky start, to a bullpen that CONTINUES to save the day… and a brutal missed call by the third base umpire that nearly flipped the game late.

Nick Castellanos delivers the TURNING POINT hit with a clutch 2-run single in the 5th.

Ty France stays RED HOT with 4 RBIs including a massive 2-run triple.

Gavin Sheets adds insurance with a 422-foot BOMB.

But the story doesn’t end there…

Mason Miller gets squeezed by a blown call that costs him his scoreless streak, and the Cubs make things VERY uncomfortable in the 9th.

Plus:

* Machado goes 3-for-4 but exits the game (major concern)

* Padres bullpen locks it down AGAIN

* Cubs run out of challenges early (huge factor)

* Missed opportunities early STILL a trend

This team just keeps finding ways to win.

Full breakdown, turning point, Player of the Game, X-Factor, and WHO FUDGED UP — you already KNOW.

🎙️ Padres POSTCAST with Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber

The Padres and Cubs play game 2 of this 3-game series tomorrow night, with 1st pitch set for 6:40pm PT from Petco Park.

San Diego Padres unravel in Mexico City, giving up 11 unanswered runs as Fernando Tatis Jr.’s alarming slump intensifies. Javier Reyes recaps Michael King’s strong outing, the bullpen’s costly collapse, and a critical defensive error from Xander Bogaerts and Jake Cronenworth against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Manny Machado’s power at the plate and Luis Campusano’s emergence provide silver linings, but you can't help feeling disappointed.

Speaking of disappointment, Reyes dives into Tatis Jr.’s broken mechanics, missing power, and mounting fan frustration, exploring whether lineup changes could spark a turnaround. With listener mailbag reactions fueling the debate, the focus shifts to the Padres’ offensive inconsistency and bullpen reliability. Go Padres.

The San Diego Padres do it AGAIN — and this time it’s in Mexico City.

After giving up ANOTHER early 4-run inning, the Padres found themselves chasing… AGAIN. But this team refuses to quit.

A massive 4-run 7th inning flips the game, powered by clutch hitting, pressure baseball, and Arizona mistakes — turning frustration into a statement win.

Ty France delivers BIG with two home runs, while Germán Márquez settles in after early trouble to give the Padres a chance.

And once again… the bullpen locks it down, with Mason Miller continuing his dominant stretch.

But the story is bigger than one game…

🚨 Back-to-back games allowing 4-run innings

🚨 Padres forced to rally AGAIN

🚨 A trend forming… or a flaw?

This is a team that keeps responding — but how long can they keep playing from behind?

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments — is this resilience… or a warning sign?
