Baz, Díaz lead the Rays to 1-0 win over the Padres, who suffer consecutive shutouts

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Shane Baz pitched seven strong innings and Yandy Díaz hit a sacrifice fly for the Tampa Bay Rays, who beat San Diego 1-0 on Friday night to hand the Padres their fifth loss in seven games.

Baz (3-0) allowed just four singles while striking out six and walking one for the Rays, who won their third straight.

The Padres suffered consecutive shutouts for the first time this season.

San Diego's Gavin Sheets reached with one out in the ninth when catcher Ben Rortvedt couldn't hold on to strike three for a passed ball.
