Padres Fall in Wild Card Battle | San Diego Padres News

The Padres’ wild card hopes took a brutal hit as they fell 7-6 to the Tampa Bay Rays in a heart-stopping thriller, losing their final shot at the postseason by half a game.

Despite a valiant effort from San Diego, who tied it with a homer in the sixth, Tampa Bay’s resilience proved too much. With Robbie Ray on the mound for the finale, the Padres need a miracle to claw back into contention. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
