History

Historical Context

In 1998, after Bruce Bochy rebuilt the club, the Padres posted a franchise-best 98-64 record, won the NL West and reached the World Series. Kevin Brown’s 2.38 ERA and Trevor Hoffman’s 53 saves highlighted that dominant pitching. Today, Walker Buehler’s first win and Ty France’s three-run homer revive the same momentum as San Diego chases another deep playoff run.
