CLEVELAND—Michael King did not allow a hit until the seventh inning, Kyle Higashioka drove in both of his team’s runs with a double, and the San Diego Padres beat the American League Central-leading Cleveland Guardians 2–1 on Sunday.
King’s bid for the second no-hitter in franchise history ended when Angel Martínez led off the seventh with a bloop single to center field. The right-hander was acquired from the New York Yankees in the blockbuster trade that sent Juan Soto to the Big Apple on Dec. 7, 2023.
