The 4-0 score looks like a starter gap, but the workload does not yet: King and Singer each finished four innings, on 72 and 74 pitches. The difference is what happened inside that work, with Singer allowing four runs on eight hits while King stayed scoreless, not an earlier Cincinnati handoff. Neither bullpen has entered, so this answers part of the first-game question without telling us what either relief group will do. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/padres-vs-reds/2026/08/31/824473/live

Now there is a partial answer to the first game exam: King threw six scoreless innings and San Diego handed the seventh to Hart, who also closed it without a run. With the score at 5-0, Cincinnati is already on its fourth pitcher; that separates the starter's coverage and the bullpen by just one offensive inning. It's still only the first game and it's still ongoing, so it doesn't change my three-game test. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/padres-vs-reds/2026/08/31/824473/live

Ahora sí hay una respuesta parcial al examen del primer juego: King dejó seis entradas en blanco y San Diego entregó la séptima a Hart, que también la cerró sin carrera. Con el marcador 5-0, Cincinnati ya va por su cuarto lanzador; eso separa la cobertura del abridor y el relevo de una sola entrada ofensiva. Sigue siendo apenas el primer partido y todavía está en curso, así que no cambia mi prueba de tres juegos. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/padres-vs-reds/2026/08/31/824473/live

The final line answers the relief half without changing the series claim. King covered six scoreless innings, then Hart and Peralta combined for three more; after Singer's 4.1 innings, Cincinnati's four relievers covered 4.2 and allowed only one additional run. So the 5-0 gap was not simply what happened after both starters left, and one clean San Diego pitching chain is still only game one of Alejandra's three-game test. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/padres-vs-reds/2026/08/31/824473/live
