Ray strikes out 13 in 7 frames to beat Padres
Robbie Ray keeps the Padres at bay, allowing only one run and one hit while striking out 13 batters over seven inningsIf not for Kivlehan's fifth-inning blast, Ray could have potentially flirted with history. His stuff was certainly good enough. Instead, Kivlehan became the fifth Padre in history to go deep in his first big league game -- and the first since Tommy Medica did so in 2013.
Padres left-hander Clayton Richard matched Ray's pitching prowess -- only to be let down by his inability to field his position. Richard's two throwing errors allowed a pair of unearned runs to score. Otherwise, he tossed six innings of two-hit ball without an earned run.
