San Diego beat the AL West-leading Texas Rangers 7-1 on Friday night.
SAN DIEGO, CA - JULY 28: Ha-Seong Kim #7 of the San Diego Padres slides to score ahead of the tag by Mitch Garver #18 of the Texas Rangers during the sixth inning at Petco Park on July 28, 2023 in San Diego, California. Joe Musgrove pitched six strong innings on the night his boyhood hero, Jake Peavy, was inducted into the Padres' Hall of Fame, Fernando Tatis Jr.
The Rangers, managed by former Padres skipper Bruce Bochy, lost for the fifth time in seven games but kept a two-game lead over Houston."I was excited, man," Musgrove said. "A lot of adrenaline. Obviously Peavy's night ... throwing in front of Boch for the first time in my career. A lot of San Diego legends in the house. I was really motivated and excited about this outing. I was honored to be able to throw on this night.
The Padres, who have underwhelmed despite having baseball's third-highest payroll, also got RBIs from two of their other stars, Juan Soto and Manny Machado. Soto hit an RBI single in the first and Machado had a sacrifice fly in the third and a two-run single in the sixth. Gary Sanchez added an RBI double in the sixth.
"Like I told the guys after the game, we've two months left here to determine our future here for the rest of the season. If we're going to go out, we've got to go out on our terms playing baseball the way that we play the game."
