The 2025 season has hit the end of the road for the San Diego Padres, as they dropped the series “win-or-go-home” finale against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field by a final score of 3–1. It was a pitcher’s duel between the two National League stalwarts all series long, as neither team was able to eclipse three runs.
The bullpens on each side were lights out, allowing only five earned runs over the course of 32 innings pitched. Neither offense was able to get anything going when both managers went to the pen.
One reliever in particular for the Padres who deserves a tip of the cap is Adrián Morejón, who made appearances in all three games, pitching over a span of 4.
