The Tampa Bay Rays rally with a four-run seventh inning to defeat the San Diego Padres 7-6 on Saturday. Yandy Díaz drives in three runs with a bases-loaded single, and Chandler Simpson follows with a tiebreaking RBI hit as the Rays take the lead late.
San Diego had additional offense, with the game featuring homers by the Rays’ Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda. Kevin Kelly earns the win in relief after 1 2/3 scoreless innings, as Tampa Bay wins its third straight and for the fifth time in six games. One notable development is that Padres second baseman Luis Rengifo is carted off after suffering a right knee sprain.
Across the reporting, the key shared focus is Tampa Bay’s seventh-inning surge, the decisive RBI by Simpson, Díaz’s three-run hit, and the final one-run margin. Coverage also consistently notes the lineup power from the Rays and the incident involving Rengifo during the game.
