Rangers Visit the Padres to Begin 3-Game Series

The San Diego Padres hosted the Texas Rangers on Friday, July 4, 2025, to open a three-game series at Petco Park in San Diego.
Both teams entered the series following struggles as the Padres came off a 2-4 road trip and the Rangers began a 10-game road trip amid playoff pressures.
Randy Vasquez started for the Padres with a 3-4 record and 3.84 ERA, while Kumar Rocker took the mound for the Rangers with a 3-4 record and 6.13 ERA in his first appearance versus San Diego.
San Diego held a 46-40 record and second place in the NL West, while Texas was 43-44 and fourth in the AL West, with the Rangers leading MLB in rotation ERA despite offensive struggles.
The series outcome could shape the Rangers' trade deadline decisions amid a thin rotation and bullpen, while the Padres aim to regain early-season offensive form during their season-high homestand.
