Padres (King) vs Brewers (Henderson): 10/4/26, 3:00pm

…and the Brewers take Game 1 by the final score of 3-2.

Right-hander Michael King starts Game 2 for San Diego. King had 5.2 IP of one run ball at Milwaukee on May 13, 2026. No decision.

Logan Henderson starts for the Brewers. Henderson went 6.1 IP at San Diego on August 10, 2026. A 7th inning HR by Jackson Merrill saddled Henderson with a loss, after otherwise pitching well through six.

Let's do this!!!

Frelick is 5-11 lifetime against King. I expect Sal starts in RF.

Left handed batting David Hamilton likely at 3B. Ortiz is 2-5 lifetime against King, probably at SS.

King is right handed, so no Vaughn, obviously.

Henderson for 4-5 IP.

Patrick and Romero for 2-3 IP?

I recognize everyone is probably available on back to back days today. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be nervous sending any of yesterday’s five relievers back out there.

I bet Uribe bounces back fine.

Padres carrying 11 (?) pitchers on their roster.
 

Not pictured is righthander, Randy Vasquez, a starter in the regular season. We can assume Walker Buehler will return from paternity leave this week, if necessary. Buehler can only miss up to three games.
