Milwaukee Brewers third baseman David Hamilton (6) beats the throw to San Diego Padres second baseman Fernando Tatis Jr. to steal second base during the third inning of their game Thursday, May 14, 2026 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. | Mark Hoffman/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images San Diego Padres starter Griffin Canning walked the bases loaded and eventually walked in the first run of the game in the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on Thursday. Canning allowed three runs in the first and three more in the second before he was taken out of the game after just 1.2 innings of work. It was obvious from the start that Canning was going to struggle. Too many pitches were uncompetitive, and the near misses were not close enough to entice the Brewers batters to swing. When Canning was forced to put the ball over the plate Milwaukee took advantage and drove in runs. San Diego was down 6-0 after two innings and as exciting as the ninth inning that led to a Padres win was the night before, there was never a feeling San Diego had a chance in the 7-1 loss to Milwaukee. The feeling that the game was over before it started was not solely on Canning, although he was a big part of it, the lineup had a lot to do with it. The top three in the order, , Fernando Tatis Jr. and combined to go 1-for-11 in the game. Tatis Jr. struck out in three of his five at-bats. The four through eight batters in the San Diego lineup combined to go 6-for-19 with leading the group and the team with two hits. The Padres bullpen performed well allowing just one run over the final 6.1 innings and they gave San Diego a chance to get back in the game, but the rally never came. The Padres are on the road in today to take on the at 6:40 p.m. **Padres News:**
