Michael King was brilliant. Mason Miller got the job done. The Padres defeated the Dodgers 1-0 on Monday night.

While one of us was watching Victor Wembanyama doing his best Steph Curry impression, the other two were focussed on a memorable pitching duel at Petco Park.

We discussed the start from King, Miller’s unique save, the backstory of Rodolfo Durán and other details from the first game of the regular season between the NL West rivals. AJ also had thoughts Lucas Giolito’s first start as a Padre and if optimism for the offense is fading.

Predictably, there were a few detours in this conversation to discuss coffee, San Diego FC dropping more points late and if anyone still scores baseball games.
