Padres have won their last 10 games against Texas Rangers after clinching series on Saturday with a 4-0 win
The Padres are not rolling yet. But one foot in front of the other is a start.
The Padres have outscored the Rangers — owners of the majors’ best run differential — 11-1 through two games and will ask Blake Snell to complete a sweep on Sunday.They’ve rarely stacked good games together. Three-game winning streaks are even scarcer and anything more than that has been nonexistent so far.One big inning provided all Darvish needed.
After a mound visit with pitching coach Ruben Niebla, Darvish got a pop-up and two punchouts to strand both runners. The next inning, Leody Taveras doubled and Josh Smith followed two punchouts with a single that might have scored a run if it weren’t for growing fear of Fernando Tatis Jr.’s arm in right field.
