The Chicago White Sox shut out the San Diego Padres 4–0 on May 2 at Petco Park, with the visitors' pitching staff delivering a dominant performance by allowing just six hits and striking out nine batters while surrendering zero earned runs. Chicago's offense was modest but efficient, generating seven hits and four RBIs to support the shutout, while the Padres managed only six hits and struck out 11 times at the plate, posting a .682 OPS that underscored their offensive struggles. San Diego's pitching staff recorded 11 strikeouts but couldn't prevent the four runs from crossing, and the home team's anemic offensive output—particularly the lack of power production with no home runs—proved decisive in the loss. The Padres' .232 batting average and inability to convert scoring opportunities highlighted a troubling trend of run production issues that may force lineup adjustments going forward.
