4/30/25 Padres looking to beefed-up lineup as they seek sweep of Giants. It wasn't a mystery how the San Diego Padres followed a 15-4 start by going 2-7 in their next nine games. A reinforced lineup produced 11 hits and three multiple-run innings, three more than the team had in a week, during a 7-4 win over the San Francisco Giants. The buoyed attack will try to support right-hander Michael King (3-1, 2.18 ERA) in the same manner Wednesday afternoon against San Francisco when San Diego closes the two-game series and a five-game homestand. "We got two of our starters back in the lineup," Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts said, "and it boosted our lineup a little bit."

4/17/25 Yankees trade target predicted to land $120 million deal after 2.95 ERA season. When the New York Yankees traded Michael King and others for Juan Soto, it looked to be the right decision.
