2024 San Diego Padres season
Major League Baseball team season
The 2024 San Diego Padres season was the 56th season of the San Diego Padres franchise. The Padres compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) West Division. The team plays its home games at Petco Park.
With a win over the San Francisco Giants on September 13, the Padres improved on their 82–80 record from the previous season. After a win over the Chicago White Sox on September 22, the Padres achieved their first 90-win season since 2010.
On September 24, the Padres secured a wild card spot in the postseason with a 4–2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers behind a game-winning triple play. The 5-4-3 triple play marked a number of historical feats: the ninth overall in franchise history, the third to end a game in the last 30 years, the first by the Padres since June 10, 2010 against the New York Mets, and the first ever in MLB history to clinch a postseason berth by way of a game-winning triple play. Additionally, they returned to the postseason for the third time in the past five seasons. They swept the Atlanta Braves in the Wild Card Series, but lost the Division Series in five games to their division rival and eventual World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
Despite the NLDS loss, in their Game 2 blowout victory, the Padres' 6 home runs set a franchise record for the most home runs in a single postseason game.
