2014 San Diego Padres season

The 2014 San Diego Padres season was their 46th season in Major League Baseball (MLB), and their tenth at Petco Park. After finishing with a 76–86 record in 2013, they only managed to improve by just one game in 2014, finishing the season with a 77–85 record. After winning the season opener and starting the season 1–1, the Padres stayed under .500 for the rest of the season.

San Diego entered the season with the highest payroll in franchise history, yet still ranked in the bottom third in MLB. They finished the season with its best home record (48–33) since the opening of Petco in 2004. They tied their World Series team of 1984 with 48 home wins, which had only been exceeded by its 1978 team and their pennant-winning 1998 squad.
