The San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers will break a 1-1 series tie Sunday night with a Game 3 finale at Petco Park.

All-Star Fernando Tatis Jr. scored the tying run in the third inning and doubled in the go-ahead run in the fourth for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Texas Rangers 4-1 to take two of three.

The Texas Rangers' offense is collapsing in extra innings, exposing depth issues after their 3-2 loss vs. the San Diego Padres Friday night.

The Texas Rangers (44-45) and San Diego Padres (47-41) will close out their only series of the season on Sunday Night Baseball.

Last night was the 15th straight crowd of more than 40,000 at Petco Park and the 38th “sellout” in 42 home games this season. (While Petco Park now holds more than 47,000 after last year’s Gallagher Square expansion, paid attendance of 40,000 or more is considered a sellout.) All right, that’s it for me. Talk to you tomorrow.

The Rangers (-110 on the moneyline) and the Padres (-109) will take the field in an expected close matchup. The starting pitchers are Kumar Rocker (3-4) for the Texas Rangers, and Randy Vasquez (3-4) for the San Diego Padres.
