**San Diego Padres Off to Best Start in Franchise History After Victory Over Guardians**
For the first time in their 57-year history, the San Diego Padres have kicked off a Major League Baseball season with five consecutive wins. On Monday night, they secured a 7-2 victory against the Cleveland Guardians at Petco Park.
Pitcher Kyle Hart achieved his first MLB win, thanks in part to Gavin Sheets, who had an outstanding performance with two two-run doubles among his three hits. This start surpassed their previous best of 4-0 from 1984, a year that saw the Padres make their inaugural World Series appearance.
Hart’s return to the MLB comes after a successful season in 2024 with the NC Dinos, where he led the Korean Baseball Organization with 182 strikeouts, earning the Choi Dong-won Award as the top starting pitcher. The left-hander allowed only two runs and five hits over five innings, striking out four and walking one.
The Padres took advantage of Cleveland’s Luis Ortiz in his debut, tagging him for seven runs and nine hits through four and two-thirds innings.
Key performers included Dominican Manny Machado, who went 3-3, and Fernando Tatis Jr., who hit 2 for 5 with an RBI. Venezuelan Luis Arráez also secured his first hit of the season after opening with five hitless games.
Looking ahead, the series resumes Tuesday, April 1st at Petco Park. Cleveland’s Logan Allen is set to pitch against San Diego’s Michael King at 6:40 PM.
