## Resource

The Padres are surviving with a makeshift pitching rotation, relying on just two reliable starters while forcing bullpen arms like JP Sears and Randy Vásquez into extended roles. With key pitchers sidelined and no immediate reinforcements, they’re creatively splitting starts and innings to eke out wins — even pulling off a six-inning gem last Saturday. Their rotation ERA sits at 4.68, better than just one other team, and while their offense has surged since mid-June, they’re banking on that momentum to keep pace until injured stars like Pivetta and Musgrove return or they hit the trade deadline. It’s a grind, but they’re adapting to stay alive in the playoff race. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
