CLEVELAND — Michael King did not allow a hit until the seventh inning and Kyle Higashioka had a two-run double and the San Diego Padres beat the American League Central-leading Cleveland Guardians 2-1. King's bid for the second no-hitter in franchise history ended when Angel Martínez led off the seventh with a single to center. The right-hander was acquired from the Yankees in the blockbuster deal that sent Juan Soto to New York on Dec. 7, 2023. King worked seven innings, giving up one run and two hits with six strikeouts. Jeremiah Estrada followed King, while Robert Suarez recorded the final four outs for his 23rd save and completed the two-hitter.
