How to Watch Red Sox at Padres (Aug. 8): Stream MLB Live, TV Channel

Walker Buehler and the Red Sox will take on Nick Pivetta and the Padres in the first of a three game series on Friday night in San Diego.

The Boston Red Sox travel west to open a three-game interleague series against the San Diego Padres on Friday at Petco Park. Both teams are clinging to postseason hopes and will look to start the weekend strong with a crucial victory. Boston enters the series hovering around the .500 mark and is still in the mix for a Wild Card spot in the American League. Their offense has been led by Rafael Devers, who continues to anchor the middle of the lineup with consistent power and run production. Jarren Duran’s breakout season at the top of the order has also provided much-needed spark, while the Red Sox pitching staff has been inconsistent, relying heavily on the bullpen to close out tight games.

The Padres, meanwhile, have had a streaky season but remain a threat in the National League Wild Card race thanks to their star-studded lineup.
