In the series finale, the Rays were unable to replicate what was done offensively during last night’s game. The Rays scored 11 runs for the first time since July 25th, when they scored 13 against the Blue Jays in Roger Center.
On the mound, we had an exciting pitching matchup for ourselves. Ryan Pepiot coming off back-to-back quality starts, and the red-hot Dylan Cease. Both starting pitchers dominated the first three innings. Cease and Pepiot consistently pounded the zone with fastballs, and both had pleasant results. The Padres were able to get a couple of men on base, but Pepiot’s exceptional command helped put the fire away.
