The Padres' bullpen struggled in a 5-2 loss to the Tigers, marking their first time since 2023. The team had been contemplating adding any key players to the rotation during the season. Manager Mike Stammen decided not to chase this game, but managed to manage the game effectively. Adrian Morejon was particularly effective, throwing three pitches at a career high of 101.1. The loss leaves the Padres without key players like Jason Adam, who is recovering from left quad surgery.
