The 4-2 win completed a sweep of the Padres; extended the Rays’ winning streak to five, their longest in nearly a year; and got them back to .500 for the first time since mid-April. Zack Littell, after deserving better in several outings on the way to an 0-5 start, earned his first win, allowing the two runs over five innings.

The Tampa Bay Rays were looking to add to their 3-2 lead over the San Diego Padres with a sacrifice fly in the top of the seventh inning, but Fernando Tatis Jr. had other ideas. Yandy Diaz hit a fly ball to right field with one out and runners on the corners.
