Lasts four frames in loss King (12-10) took the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks over four innings against the Dodgers. He struck out five.

Impact The right-hander delivered a scoreless first inning but was tagged for four runs in the second and another in the fourth to end his evening. King's poor showing ended a four-start win streak and is the first time since July 28 he surrendered more than three earned runs in an outing. During that nine-start stretch, he posted a 2.26 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB across 55.2 innings. King tentatively lines up to pitch the final game of the regular season Sunday versus the Diamondbacks, but the Padres are likely to prioritize his availability for the wild-card series a couple days later.

Six strong innings in 12th win King (12-9) tallied the win Thursday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.

Impact King bookended his outing in shaky fashion, yielding one run in his first and final innings of work, but it was a strong start overall. The right-hander has been a model of consistency for both the Padres and fantasy managers alike, reeling off eight consecutive quality starts and 12 in his last 14 outings. He's set bring a workmanlike 3.03 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 154:68 K:BB over 181 innings into his next and likely final appearance of the regular season against the Dodgers.

Bags 11th win King (11-9) picked up the win in Saturday's 7-6 victory over the Giants, giving up three runs on five hits over seven innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

Impact The right-hander did serve up homers to Rafael Devers in the first inning and Shay Whitcomb in the second to account for all the damage against him, but King shut the door from there. He's reeled off seven straight quality starts, giving him 17 in total on the season, and over that sizzling streak he's produced a 1.81 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB in 44.2 innings while going 5-1. King will look to stay locked in during his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Colorado.

Tosses another scoreless outing King (9-9) earned the win Monday against the Reds, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings.

Impact King received plenty of support from San Diego's line up with a four-run fourth inning and cruised to his second straight scoreless outing, giving him 13 consecutive shutout frames. The right-hander has completed at least six innings in nine of his last 11 starts, lowering his ERA from 3.55 to 3.11 during that stretch. King also owns a 1.17 WHIP with 141 strikeouts across 162 innings this season. He's lined up to face his former team, the Yankees, in his next start.
