The Ranger climb the ladder quick and the Padres just couldn't catch up.
After yesterday's break the Padres were hoping to start the final series before the All-Star Break on a high note. To do this, they were going to have to get the upper hand on the Rangers and Wandy Rodriguez. Unfortunately, that was not accomplished and the Friars are now another game back.
Ian Kennedy took the mound today, having a bit of a shaky last three starts, all despite a fairly low earned run average. Today was more shaky than fair.
