San Diego Padres star Juan Soto said his teammates "just give up" after a four-game losing streak

The Padres appear to have hit rock bottom, and the All-Star unleashed his frustration after the team was swept by the Seattle Mariners in a four-game series Wednesday night. 

The Padres fell to 55-60 on the year, 13 games out of first place in the NL West.

"We’ve got to play as a team," Soto said, via CBS Sports. "We’ve got to go out there [and] grind every day. Grind every at-bat. … It’s been really inconsistent. Some days we do, some days we don’t. We gotta do it every day. Days like this series, we just give up. Like, literally, we just give up instead of keep grinding, keep pushing. We’ve got to forget about yesterday and keep moving."

The loss also put the Padres further down in the National League wild-card race. They are 4½ games out of the third and final spot with multiple teams close in the race.
