Lucas Giolito’s Padres debut looked strong early but unraveled in the sixth as San Diego built a 7-0 lead; Gavin Sheets homered twice and drove in a run, while Ty France had three hits and three RBIs for Seattle, but the Padres held on to win 8-3 and complete the three-game sweep.

Ty France has earned a spot on the Padres’ opening-day roster as a corner infielder after signing a February minor-league deal with the club. Following a strong spring (.318, 2 homers, 4 doubles, 2 walks), he’s set to be introduced with the team for the season opener against the Detroit Tigers at Petco Park, with Sung‑Mun Song starting the season on the injured list. France, a 2022 All-Star who has a career .262/.334/.400 line, originally began his career with the Padres in 2019 and returns to the organization with a long MLB résumé.
The Padres informed Ty France he made the Opening Day roster and officially had his 40-man contract selected, adding him to a 40-man roster after a minor-league deal that pays $1.35 million if he sticks.

Sung‑Mun Song’s oblique injury opened a roster spot, leaving Gavin Sheets as the likely starter at first with France and other bats (Andujar, Castellanos) in the mix for at-bats, and France retains an opt-out window this weekend.
