“I think every time out, you know that we could show out what we could do,” King said to The San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee. “We’ve got a really good culture in terms of, like, when you do have a bad one, everybody is around you to support you and allow you to have a good one in your next one. And I think that the pressure from the team is a good one in terms of like, ‘Hey, we’re not gonna have two bad (starts) in a row. Ruben (Niebla, the Padres pitching coach) is also great in terms of keeping the confidence, and then we’re great in terms of just talking it through.”

The Padres have the best record in Major League Baseball at 13-3.
