The 2010 San Diego Padres season was the 42nd season in franchise history. On August 25, the Padres had a 6+1⁄2-game lead over the second-place San Francisco Giants, but ended up missing the playoffs as the Giants passed them in September. This was the last winning season the Padres would have until 2020, as well as their last 90 win season until 2024.
Many preseason predictions picked the Padres to finish the season in last place in the NL West. [1]
On April 12, 2010, (Padres home opener) the Padres scored 17 runs—including a ten run 4th inning, making it the most runs in one half inning of baseball in Petco Park's history—against the Atlanta Braves as they went on to win 17–2. In the Padres' 1–0 win over the San Francisco Giants on April 20, San Diego won despite San Francisco's Jonathan Sánchez and Sergio Romo limiting them to just one hit, one of the very rare occasions that a team won with just one hit.
On May 13, Mat Latos threw a one hitter in a 1–0 win over the Giants.
On May 29, the Giants signed free agent outfielder Pat Burrell. [2] Padres CEO Jeff Moorad, Burrell's friend and his former agent, would later say he regretted not recruiting Burrell to the Padres. [3]
On May 31, the Padres played 51 games and were 2 games ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers. They had one of the highest winning percentages in the National League despite having poor attendance and one of the worst payrolls in Major League Baseball. The Padres had one of the lowest ERA in the National League. [4]
On June 11, the Padres had 36 wins and 25 losses. They were tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers in first place.
On June 14, in the Padres' 6–3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, an earthquake shook Petco Park. Many fans and Cito Gaston, the Blue Jays' manager, felt the 5.7 Mw earthquake, but most of the players did not feel it. Gaston reported that he felt the dugout move side from side a little.
On June 23, the Padres won the first two games in the series against the Tampa Bay Rays. They placed 2+1⁄2 games ahead of the San Francisco Giants for first place.
On June 25, the Padres won the first game of a three-game series against the Florida Marlins, giving them 43 wins and 30 losses. In contrast, the Padres record after 73 games in 2009 was 32 wins with 41 losses. [5] There were constant rumors and talks about the possible trade of All-Star first baseman and Gold Glove winner Adrián González, but he remained in San Diego throughout the season.
On August 18, the Padres moved 6 games ahead of the San Francisco Giants giving them their biggest division lead of the season
On August 23, the Giants acquired outfielder Cody Ross off waivers from the Florida Marlins to block him from going to the Padres. [6] [7]
On August 25, the Padres were 76–49 and in first place with a 6+1⁄2 game lead. [8] On August 26, the Padres started a 10-game losing streak by losing to the Arizona Diamondbacks 5–11. The losing streak went into the month of September and ended on September 6 when they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4–2. [9]
On September 26, the Padres (87–67) had a 1⁄2-game lead over the Giants (87–68).
On September 30, the Padres fell 3 games behind the San Francisco Giants after losing 3 out of 4 games to the Chicago Cubs, putting them on the brink of elimination. With a 3–0 loss on October 3, the final game of the season, with the Braves beating the Phillies, the Padres were officially eliminated from playoff contention and the Giants won the division, while the Braves won the wild card spot. [8] The Padres led the NL West for 148 days in 2010. [9] They set team records for the fewest errors (72) and highest fielding percentage (.988) in a season. [10]

The Dodgers–Giants rivalry is regarded as one of the fiercest and longest-standing rivalries in American baseball, with some observers considering it the greatest sports rivalry of all time. It dates back to the late 19th century, when both clubs were based in New York City.

The 2007 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 119th for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 50th season in Los Angeles, California. It started off promisingly with the Dodgers holding the National League West lead for most of the first half of the season. However, the team faded down the stretch and finished the season in fourth place. Two of the teams big free agent signings, pitchers Jason Schmidt and Randy Wolf were injured and missed most of the season. A promising development was the play of several rookies including James Loney and Matt Kemp and the further development of second year catcher Russell Martin, who was named to his first All-Star Game.
The 2005 San Diego Padres season was the 37th season for the San Diego Padres. For the first time since 1998, the Padres qualified for the postseason after six straight losing seasons. The 2005 team is noted as having the weakest record among any team to qualify for the postseason, finishing 82–80, tied with the 1973 New York Mets for the fewest wins ever in a non-shortened year since Major League Baseball expanded to a 162-game season in 1961, and the fewest of any team since 1885. The National League West was weak in 2005, with all teams finishing below the .500 mark except for the San Diego Padres, who only finished two games above the .500 mark. The closest team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, were five games back. Three teams in the Eastern Division finished with better records than San Diego but failed to qualify for the playoffs, such as the Philadelphia Phillies, who won 88 games and won all six of their games against the Padres. There had been some speculation that the Padres would be the first team in MLB history to win a division and finish below .500, but their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 30 gave them their 81st victory, guaranteeing a split record. They were swept in three games by the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLDS.
The 2006 San Diego Padres season was the 38th season in franchise history. The Padres captured their second consecutive National League West title, with a record of 88–74, tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers by virtue of winning the season series 13–5 against the Dodgers. The 2006 season also marked the end of Bruce Bochy's tenure as manager of the team, after 24 seasons overall, 12 seasons as manager (1995–2006), winning 4 division titles. The Padres were eliminated in the NLDS by the eventual World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals, losing 3–1.
The 1983 Atlanta Braves season was the 18th season in Atlanta along with the 113th overall.
The following is a franchise history of the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball. Prior to joining Major League Baseball as one of four expansion teams in 1969, the San Diego Padres were a Minor League franchise in the Pacific Coast League.
The 2010 San Francisco Giants season marked their 128th year in Major League Baseball, their 53rd year in San Francisco since their move from New York following the 1957 season, and their 11th in AT&T Park. The Giants won the National League West for the first time since the 2003 season and both the NLDS and NLCS for the first time since the 2002 season. They would go on to win the World Series, their first championship since moving to San Francisco in 1958. Giants catcher Buster Posey was awarded the National League Rookie of the Year Award.
The 2010 World Series was the championship series of Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2010 season. The 106th edition of the World Series, it was a best-of-seven playoff played between the American League (AL) champion Texas Rangers and the National League (NL) champion San Francisco Giants; the Giants won the series, four games to one, to secure their first World Series championship since 1954 and their first since relocating to San Francisco from New York City in 1958.
