Catcher Luis Campusano, who has been swinging a hot bat, singled to left field to bring in Sheets from second and give the Padres a 1-0 lead.Jake Cronenworth then hit a ball back toward Luis Castillo, who appeared to have an easy throw to former Padre Josh Naylor at first, but the ball slipped out of his glove, allowing Cronenworth to reach safely. Ramn Laureano followed with a ball to first that Naylor fumbled again, allowing Andjar to score and extend the lead to 2-0.Fernando Tatis Jr. kept it going, dropping a ball into center field that perfectly placed to bring in both Campusano and Cronenworth, pushing the lead to 4-0.Padres starter Walker Buehler was sharp early, allowing just two hits and striking out seven through five innings.Things unraveled slightly in the sixth. Cole Young led off with a single to right, followed by Brendan Donovan singling to center as Young advanced to third. Pitching coach Ruben Niebla visited the mound, and Buehler remained in the game.Apr 16, 2026; San Diego, California, USA; San Diego Padres starting pitcher Walker Buehler (10) throws a pitch during the first inning against the Seattle Mariners at Petco Park.David Frerker-Imagn ImagesApr 16, 2026; San Diego, California, USA; San Diego Padres starting pitcher Walker Buehler (10) throws a pitch during the first inning against the Seattle Mariners at Petco Park.Cal Raleighs RBI single marked the end of Buehlers outing, cutting the lead to 4-1.
