However, the game highlighted bullpen challenges, as reliever Adrian Morejon was unavailable due to shoulder discomfort. Padres manager Craig Stammen reported Morejon felt a “stickiness” in his shoulder, leading to the decision to rely on Michael King, who had pitched in Game 2, to close out the game. Morejon also missed Game 2, impacting the team’s bullpen options. The Padres did not rule out Morejon for a potential appearance in a crucial Game 4 scheduled for Wednesday.
