Overview
- Heliot Ramos, Rafael Devers and Wilmer Flores homered off Nestor Cortes in the opening frame to build a 4-0 lead.
- A replay review determined spectator interference on Xander Bogaerts’ drive and ruled him out, and Padres manager Mike Shildt was ejected after approaching the umpires.
- Ray carried a one-hit shutout into the seventh and finished with six strikeouts and one walk, with three unearned runs scoring after Casey Schmitt’s double error and Ryan O’Hearn’s two-run pinch-hit homer.
- Ryan Walker returned from the paternity list and teamed with Randy Rodríguez to preserve the lead, with Rodríguez recording his fourth save.
- The loss was San Diego’s fourth in a row, and Ramos’ leadoff homer was his first since July 5.
