SAN DIEGO (AP) — Mike Shildt faced the St. Louis Cardinals for the first time since he became the San Diego Padres’ manager and expressed gratitude to both organizations. Shildt was with the Cardinals organization for 18 seasons, including managing them for three-plus seasons before being fired suddenly despite three straight playoff appearances and winning the 2019 NL Manager of the Year Award. He landed with the Padres in 2022 as a senior advisor to the major league staff and player development department. He was elevated to manager in October after Bob Melvin was hired away by his hometown San Francisco Giants.
