SAN DIEGO — Jalen Beeks pitched better Wednesday than he had been for the Rays, but he still didn’t pitch well enough.
And that was the primary reason the Rays lost 7-2 to the Padres, and the chance for the best two-city road trip in franchise history.
Instead the Rays finished the country-crossing journey to Seattle and San Diego 5-1, snapping their overall winning streak at five and team-record road winning streak at nine.
Handed a 2-0 lead on Tommy Pham’s homer, Beeks handed it back in messy second inning with consecutive two-out walks, then singles by No.
