ARLINGTON -- For the second game in a row, the Padres put a plethora of runs on the board. But the offensive outburst wasn't enough to help them avoid a 9-7 defeat in the series opener on Friday night at Globe Life Field. The evening was not a total waste, however, for San Diego first baseman Ty France. France and the Padres got to Rangers starter Jacob deGrom right from the get-go in the series opener. They batted around in the top of the first.
