Good Morning San Diego: Padres in danger of being swept after loss to White Sox

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - MAY 02: Manager Craig Stammen takes Michael King #34 out of the game as Gavin Sheets #30, Manny Machado #13, and Luis Campusano #12 of the San Diego Padres look on during the seventh inning of a game against the Chicago White Sox at Petco Park on May 02, 2026 in San Diego, California.

The good news was Jeremiah Estrada returned from his stint on the IL. The right-hander made quick work of the three White Sox hitters he faced. Estrada, who saw a dip in his velocity to start the season, looked as good. He struck out all three batters he faced and his velocity was back up to 98 mph. The negative is that the Padres loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth inning with no outs. San Diego could not capitalize and the feeling that something big was about to happen faded as Gavin Sheets struck out on an ABS challenge, Miguel Andujar flied out to right field and Luis Campusano struck out to end the threat and the game. To be fair the Padres offense was bad throughout the game and not just the bottom of the ninth. San Diego had four batters account for six hits in the game. Two of those players, Jackson Merrill and Andujar accounted for four of the six hits. Ramon Laureano and Jake Cronenworth were the other two players to record hit. The Padres will have to come up with an answer to what ails them quickly. They will not have long to figure the best way to get the offense going as they play the final game of her home series with the White Sox at 1:10 p.m. on Sunday. **Padres News:**

Griffin Canning is coming up from Triple-A El Paso and will be an upgrade to the pitching staff. His arrival may not be needed more than ever before. The past few games have featured Walker Buehler, Matt Waldron and German Marquez and none of them pitched extremely well. Canning will take the mound for the Padres today.
The agreement and transfer of power between the current Padres ownership group and Jose E. Feliciano and his wife, Kwanza Jones, was announced as “official” by Kevin Acee of the *San Diego Union-Tribune.* **Baseball News:**
