Braves try to stop road skid, face the Padres
- On March 28, 2025, the San Diego Padres played the Atlanta Braves at Petco Park, where Adrian Morejon contributed in the sixth inning.
- With Yu Darvish on the injured list, the Padres are considering extending Randy Vasquez in Saturday's game against the Braves, despite his past struggles against them, including a loss just before the All-Star break last year, and his overall record of 4-7 with a 4.87 ERA in 20 outings last year.
- The Padres' bullpen has secured two wins against the Braves, allowing only one run in 11 innings during the first two games, though there are conflicting opinions on the bullpen's overall shakiness.
- Following a 7-4 win on Thursday where San Diego stole five bases, Jake Cronenworth's solo home run off Dylan Lee in the eighth inning secured a 4-3 victory for the Padres on Friday, prompting manager Mike Shildt to say, "Jake doesn't make the situation bigger than it is," and Chris Sale to state, "We not only have all the confidence in the world in this team, but more specifically, in this bullpen."
- With A.J. Minter now with the Mets and Joe Jimenez injured, Braves manager Brian Snitker acknowledged uncertainty about his late-inning options, saying, "We don't know what the right mix is going to be yet until we play these games," while the Braves hope to quiet the Padres' sellout crowd as San Diego looks to secure the series win on Saturday.
