The San Francisco Giants got their daunting road trip off to a strong start with a 4-3 win against the San Diego Padres on Monday at Petco Park.

The Giants’ losing streak reached seven games — and 15 of 16 at home — despite seven shutout innings from Justin Verlander.

Heliot Ramos, Rafael Devers and Wilmer Flores homered off Nestor Cortes in the first inning and the San Francisco Giants beat San Diego 4-3 on Monday night to hand the Padres their fourth straight loss.

The Rays win a few games and maybe you start to feel better about this team. If you squint you can see a road to the postseason. Maybe even a team that could get lucky in a 3 game Wild Card series. And then you get a game like this.

Their losing streak has hit six games. They’re 59-63 on the season. And they’ve now lost 14 of their last 15 games at home, something that hasn’t been done since 1901. Right-hander Landen Roupp pitched three-plus innings in his first start back from the injured list, allowing five earned runs and striking out five batters.

Yandy Diaz broke a ninth-inning tie with an RBI single, Junior Caminero launched his 35th home run and the visiting Tampa Bay Rays beat the San Francisco Giants 7-6 on Friday night in what turned into a battle of bullpens.
