The latest updates on Padres vs. Phillies match

The Padres responded by rattling off a franchise-record 13 straight wins, but they couldn’t keep up that pace and finished the season 34-36. In the offseason, the Padres made two big moves to try and improve their team.

First, they hired former Red Sox manager Dave Roberts to be their new skipper. Roberts is known for his aggressive style of play, and he should be a good fit for a Padres team that is loaded with young talent.

The Padres will have their work cut out for them in 2023-23, as they will be facing a tough divisional opponent in the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Padres have pushed the Phillies to the brink in each of the first four games, with two going to extra innings and another decided by just one run.

Now, with the series shifting back to San Diego for Game 5 on Friday, the Padres will have a chance to close it out in front of their home crowd.

Padres starter Chris Paddack will take the mound for Game 5, looking to build off his strong performance in Game 2. He’ll be opposed by Phillies starter Cole Hamels, who allowed just one run over six innings in Game 1.

First pitch is scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET on Friday night at Petco Park. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch.
