September 8-10, 2028: at San Diego (3)
Game 1: 1-3 L. LP-Swanda (16-9, 5.2 5 3 3 4 2). The offense only managed six hits and after the Rays took a 1-0 lead in the 5th on Albies' RBI double the Padres answered with 3 in the bottom and that was that.
Game 2: 3-7 L. LP-Khattak (1-3, 1.1 6 6 5 2 0). HR-Wood (18), R.Castillo (1/4), Lee (2). The rookie Khattak was humbled by the Padres when they put up 5 in the 2nd against him. The Rays did get a trio of solo homers off old friend Tyler Glasnow but couldn't get anything else as he fanned 11 in 7 IP.
Game 3: 1-8 L. LP-Eldridge (10-8, 6 5 5 5 3 2). A lost weekend in San Diego concluded with being on the wrong side of another rout. The Padres' big-time trade deadline acquisition Corbin Burnes shut them down and is now 6-1, 1.39 in 8 starts for San Diego.
Team record: 90-53. Next up: A day off then a huge 3-game series in Toronto. The Jays took 2 of 3 in Oakland to move 2 games ahead in the standings so the Rays will need to take at least 2 of 3 to stay in the race.
