The San Diego Padres beat the Miami Marlins 4-0 on Tuesday to extend their modest winning streak to three games. Matt Waldron started the shutout, and Jeremiah Estrada helped finish it, extending his streak of consecutive strikeouts to a major-league record 13 in the process.

Here are all the top Padres stories you might have missed Tuesday:

Juan Soto's Unfulfilled Desire to Stay with Padres

Luis Arraez has been named National League Player of the Week, adding to his already-long list of accomplishments in less than a month since arriving in San Diego via a trade with the Marlins. Call it a well-timed award on the eve of his revenge series against the Miami Marlins.
