Padres can't maintain early lead, fall in Texas

The Padres built a 3-1 lead after two innings off home runs by Wil Myers and Erick Aybar. But they were just 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position.

Both starters -- Yu Darvish for the Rangers and Luis Perdomo for the Padres -- allowed three runs in six innings and were not involved in the decision. Jeremy Jeffress picked up the win for the Rangers in relief, with Matt Bush earning his second save.
