Padres’ Fernando Tatis Jr. drops 9-word truth bomb on setting franchise record
The Padres are on fire — and Fernando Tatis Jr. is loving it.
The San Diego Padres have come out of the gates firing, as they continued their hot streak and extended their season-starting winning streak to seven with a 5-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians. The first seven games have gone exactly according to plan for a Padres team raring to redeem itself from the sting of their NLDS defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and star right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. couldn’t be more pleased with how well his team is playing.
Following the Padres’ sweep of the Guardians to remain unbeaten thus far in 2025, Tatis praised his team for the excellent baseball they’ve been playing.
“It’s just been great baseball all the way around,” Tatis said, per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com.
It’s the first time in franchise history that the team began the season unbeaten through seven games, although the Dodgers, being the ever-present thorn in their side, have managed to match them stride for stride, going undefeated as well in their first eight contests. This is only the fifth time in the history of MLB where two teams have begun the season without a loss through at least seven games, and this is shaping up to be another bloodbath between two NL West powerhouses.
