The San Diego Padres have been without Michael King for a month and a half, but the ace is ready to make his much-anticipated return.

Finally, the Padres’ bulked-up bullpen outlasted the Red Sox bullpen, and the Padres won 5-4 on Ramón Laureano’s walk-off single in the 10th inning. In that final inning, it was Jason Adam doing what Robert Suarez could not an inning earlier, keeping the Red Sox from scoring.

San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt told reporters starting pitcher Michael King will likely make his next start in MLB after making just one rehab start with Triple-A El Paso over the weekend.
