Tatis still in spotlight as Rangers, Padres head west

The Texas Rangers and San Diego Padres resume their home-and-home, four-game series Wednesday night with a matchup of their respective No. 1 starters at Petco Park in San Diego.

Chris Paddack (2-2, 4.91 ERA) will start for the Padres against the Rangers' Lance Lynn (3-0, 1.11).

But the pairing of hard-throwing right-handers and the Padres' two straight wins at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, is taking something of a backseat in the series thus far.

Everyone was still talking about baseball's "unwritten rules" Tuesday after Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a grand slam homer on a 3-0 pitch Monday night with the Padres already leading 10-3.
