Josh Hader's baseball career with San Diego Padres

Hader was dealt by the Brewers to the San Diego Padres on August 1. The next day, he played for the Padres for the first time in a win against the Colorado Rockies. But despite this, he struggled, managing just two saves in a period of 13 games and an elevated ERA of 6.52.

The Padres said on August 20 that Hader would have a "little break" from save opportunities.

In September, Hader recaptured his all-star form, and he played a key role in the Padres' journey to the postseason. Hader earned the honor of being named the National League reliever of the month for April after compiling 10 saves, limiting opponents' batting average to .093, and allowing just one run in 13.0 innings pitched.
