  • In a Cactus League game yesterday, the Padres set a single-team runs record with 27 at Peoria Stadium, the highest in tracked history.
  • A blustery day in Arizona combined with sun glare to complicate fielding, as wind and bright sun helped carry fly balls and caused miscues, loading bases.
  • Padres sent 17 batters in a 12-run second inning, with homers from Sung-Mun Song, Cronenworth, Fermin, and Merrill, while Seattle's nine pitchers combined to throw 218 pitches.
  • Following the rout, the Mariners' manager criticized execution and said spring standards matter, highlighting red flags for the team's readiness, fans, and media response.
  • Padres rotation saw Walker Buehler make a spring debut allowing two runs over three innings, while candidates for final rotation spots also pitched.
