## Resource

The Padres are in freefall, reeling from an eight-game losing streak—their longest in 13 years—and now sit four games behind a wild-card spot with just a 12% chance at a third straight postseason. Manager Craig Stammen insists this slump is just part of the journey, hoping adversity builds resilience. Meanwhile, the Dodgers remain atop the league, while teams like the Brewers and Braves surge ahead, leaving San Diego at a dismal 18th—urgently needing a turnaround before the All-Star break.
