México finally win!
April 8, 2025

Marcelo Mayer's double in the 4th gave México a lead that they didn't give up. The Atléticos are now 1-11 in 2025. The 5-11 loss against the Padres in the series opener made them the 6th team in MLB history to begin the season 0-11.

Fernando Tatis Jr. gave the Padres an early 1-run lead in the 1st, and it seemed like it would be an 0-11 start for México. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, Isaac Paredes tied the game up with a single in the bottom of the 1st.

Despite several hits from both sides, the game remained 1-1 until the bottom of the 4th. There, with the bases loaded, Marcelo Mayer drove a double to center-right that allowed Aranda and Luis Urías to score, giving México a 3-1 lead. Tirso Ornelas would bring another run home with a single and a ground ball from Jarren Durán allowed Marcelo Mayer himself to score. It was 5-1 México going into the 5th!

Despite allowing 8 hits and a walk, Alemao Hernández allowed just the run in the 1st before being pulled after 5 and a third. JoJo Romero had a clean outing, his 4th consecutive scoreless appearance, before the bats took over again in the 6th inning. Tirso Ornelas hit another RBI single, Jarren Duran had an RBI double, Ramón Urías hit a sac-fly and Isaac Paredes tacked another one on top to make it 9-1.

Manuel Rodríguez, Jeremiah Estrada and Anthony Banda closed out the game without allowing another Padre to cross the plate. It was a team effort, but México have finally pulled off their first win!

I genuinely thought we were never going to win a game, but we've finally done it! Now it's just a matter of doing this again. Like I've said, our bats will see us through, though they've had somewhat of a quiet start. Our rotation is also clearly not good enough and I'm aching for Javier Assad to be healthy. The defense is good enough for our pitchers to pitch to contact, and that's what I've been doing recently, though with mixed results. We've had some tough results, a pair of 4-5 losses against Colorado and a 2-3 loss to the Cubs signals that close games just aren't going our way. If we can turn a few of those to wins I'll be happy even when we finish in last place.
