The San Diego Padres continued their exciting start to the 2025 season, taking down the Atlanta Braves, 4-3, on Friday night to move to 2-0 on the year.

Right-handed pitcher Dylan Cease got the start, allowing three earned runs across 4.1 innings pitched with seven strikeouts. Jackson Merrill had three hits, while Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a leadoff home run, and Jake Cronenworth hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning.

Off the field, the Padres were predicted to make a blockbuster trade with a National League powerhouse later this year.

Additionally, Jurickson Profar, now with the Braves, made it known he wanted to re-sign with San Diego this offseason.

And finally, there's an ominous update regarding Yu Darvish's injury.
