| 1972 | Don Zimmer, who replaced the recently fired Preston Gomez, gets the first of his 885 victories as a big-league manager when the Padres blank the Phillies at San Diego Stadium, 4-0. The win is improbable as Steve Arlin, who will lead the league in losses with 21, bests eventual Cy Young Award winner Steve Carlton, the major league leader with 27 victories. |
| 2007 | Trevor Hoffman appears as a pitcher in his 803rd game for the Padres, establishing a new record for games pitched for one team. Walter Johnson (Senators, 1907-27) and Elroy Face (Pirates, 1953-68) shared the previous mark. |
