Good morning, Padres fans. It was a rough night at American Family Field as the San Diego Padres fell 7-1 to the Milwaukee Brewers. Right from the first inning, things went sideways. Starter Griffin Canning struggled badly, walking the bases loaded before issuing a bases-loaded walk to bring in the game's first run. It only got worse from there.

Canning surrendered three runs in the first inning and three more in the second before being pulled after just 1.2 innings. His command was off all night—too many pitches were uncompetitive, and even the ones near the zone weren't close enough to entice Brewers hitters to chase. When he was forced to throw strikes, Milwaukee pounced, driving in runs and building a quick 6-0 lead.

After Tuesday's thrilling ninth-inning comeback win, this game felt over before it really started. The offense did little to change that narrative. The top of the order—Xander Bogaerts, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Manny Machado—combined to go just 1-for-11. Tatis struck out three times in five at-bats. Nick Castellanos led the team with two hits, and the four-through-eight hitters went 6-for-19, but no rally ever materialized.

One bright spot: the Padres bullpen was solid, allowing just one run over 6.1 innings. They kept San Diego within striking distance, but the bats never woke up. The Padres now head to Seattle to face the Mariners at 6:40 p.m. tonight.

In other Padres news, Matt Waldron, who started Tuesday's game but lasted only 58 pitches due to ineffectiveness, made a relief appearance in Thursday's finale. It might have been his last outing in a Padres uniform. Meanwhile, prospect Alex McCoy broke out of a slump with his first home run of May for the Fort Wayne TinCaps, and across the league, Jesus Luzardo and Kyle Schwarber helped the Phillies to a win.
