September 20, 2024 (San Diego) -- Padres and fans had an excellent week with two shutouts Sept. 13 & 14 and an eventual sweep of the San Francisco Giants followed by a series-clinching 9/18 shutout against the Houston Astros.
 
These games showcased the Padres’ strong pitching including Dylan Cease and Joe Muscrove, and powerful batting. Two single game home runs by Manny Machado in two of those three shutouts led to decisive victories against the Astros and a commendable Giants sweep. Padres’ performance keeps America's finest city competitive for National League wild card standings.
