The Padres will not be able to win the Vedder Cup in 2025. But, there is a way to not lose it. They'll just have to do to the Mariners what Seattle did to them: sweep Seattle in their own ballpark.

The Mariners took the series finale 6-1, finishing a sweep in San Diego where they held the Friars to three total runs. The Padres got their lone tally on Sunday on the first batter of the game thanks to a Fernando Tatis Jr. leadoff home run. After that, they could not figure out how to get to Seattle starter Bryan Woo, who allowed just four more hits (all singles) and struck out five in 7.0 innings.

On the other side, Michael King got off to a great start. King cruised through the first three innings and got the first two outs of the 4th without allowing a hit. Then all heck broke loose.
