The San Francisco Giants owned the San Diego Padres to start the year, but lately they’ve been struggling versus the Friars. The Giants look to bounce back from one of their worst losses of the season in the finale of a three-game set on Wednesday.
Luis Perdomo and Madison Bumgarner are the probable starters. Perdomo (7-9, 5.89 ERA) allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings against the Giants on July 16 and owns a 6.48 ERA in three games against San Fran.
Bumgarner can collect his 100th career victory with a win tonight. The four-time all-star owns a career 10-6 record and 3.24 ERA in 26 career games against San Diego.
Stringing together wins has been a tall order for the Padres lately. San Diego is 3-17 SU in its last 20 games after a win.
