## Resource

The Padres are in freefall, losing their sixth straight game and hitting .500 for the first time since April—another frustrating cycle where early leads vanish and the bullpen can’t hold it. Starting pitchers are crumbling early, the offense can’t keep up, and injuries are compounding the chaos: Randy Vásquez was hospitalized after fainting, and Freddy Fermin took a hard foul tip to the mask. With starters barely lasting five innings and depth stretched thin, the coaching staff is scrambling to fix a team that’s suddenly playing from behind—and wondering when the pitching will stop carrying them.
