San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray earned his tenth win of the season with 6 2/3 strong innings on Monday night at Petco Park. Ray finished with six strikeouts and gave up three hits and three runs in his team's 4-3 win.

SAN FRANCISCO -- As the season started to collapse on the last homestand, the Giants at least could lean on one fact. They had seven games left against a San Diego Padres team they were hoping to chase down.

The Giants’ trade for Robbie Ray required a bit of long-term vision. When the deal with the Mariners was announced in January 2024, Ray was in the middle of a grueling rehab from Tommy John and flexor tendon surgery.

BOTTOM LINE: The San Diego Padres host the San Francisco Giants to open a four-game series. San Diego is 69-55 overall and 38-20 at home. The Padres are 51-16 in games when they have more hits than their opponents.

Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp injured his knee after getting hit on the leg by a line drive off the bat of Ramon Laureano.

The Giants have quietly assembled one of the better rotations in baseball, pitching to a 3.71 team ERA in 2025, the fifth-best mark in MLB. After a freak injury on Wednesday night, however, they might be left without one of the foremost architects of that success during the stretch run.

Robbie Ray, an MLB All-Star for the second time in 2025, maintains ties with Mookie Betts and Tony Kemp that date back to his days in Brentwood.
