The San Diego Padres blanked the Detroit Tigers 3–0 on March 28 at Petco Park in a pitching-dominated spring training matchup that fell well short of the Vegas over-under of 1 run. San Diego's pitching staff was particularly dominant, striking out 13 Tigers batters while allowing just 2 hits and 0 earned runs across the game. Detroit's offense managed only 2 hits with a .202 batting average, though the Tigers drew 4 walks and posted a respectable .582 OPS despite the shutout. The Padres' 7 hits and 4 walks provided just enough production to push across 3 runs, while San Diego's pitchers limited damage with a 4.00 ERA. Detroit's pitching was sharp—a 1.38 ERA with 6 strikeouts—but the offensive drought proved insurmountable. The Tigers' inability to generate scoring opportunities despite drawing walks suggests early-spring offensive struggles that merit monitoring as the regular season approaches.
