San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres have yet to lose in 2025 as they defeated the Cleveland Guardians, 7-2, Monday evening thanks to newly-acquired southpaw Kyle Hart earning his first MLB win and a four-RBI game from spring training standout Gavin Sheets. The 5-0 start is a franchise record for wins to begin a season without a loss.

In other news, former Padres All-Star outfielder Jurickson Profar has been suspended for 80 games and will miss the postseason if his new team, the Atlanta Braves, should qualify. This unfortunate news for the outfielder comes just four games into his new stint in Atlanta as he will have to rejoin the team midseason.

Finally, an ex-Padre has retired from the game of baseball after 17 years around the sport. His pitching expertise spanned across multiple continents as he bounced around from MLB, Japan, and other countries during his professional baseball tenure.
