The San Diego Padres faced a tough challenge against the Los Angeles Angels, suffering an 8-0 shutout loss at Angel Stadium. This defeat ended their eight-game winning streak, as they struggled offensively with only three hits throughout the game. José Soriano, the Angels' ace, dominated on the mound, striking out eight batters and lowering his ERA to 0.28 after not allowing a run in his last 19 2/3 innings. The Angels capitalized on mistakes from Padres starter Matt Waldron, who allowed six runs on eight hits in just 3 2/3 innings. The Padres had a few scoring opportunities, notably loading the bases in the third inning, but failed to capitalize. Gavin Sheets provided the lone extra-base hit for San Diego with a double in the ninth. The teams will meet again for the second game of the series, with Germán Márquez starting for the Padres against Yusei Kikuchi of the Angels.
