Division leading Padres look to snap sudden losing skid in series finale against the Astros. Watch the game live for free on Fubo.
After winning 14 of their first 17 games, the San Diego Padres have dropped each of their first two games on their road trip against the Houston Astros as they turn to veteran right hander Dylan Cease (1-1, 6.64 ERA) looking to avoid the sweep. The Astros had alternated wins and losses in the 13 games before the start of their three-game weekend homestand and look to former World Series star Framber Valdez (1-2, 4.91 ERA) to give Houston their first series sweep of the season. Valdez was roughed up for seven earned runs in Monday’s 8-3 loss at St. Louis and has surrendered 12 earned runs in his two losses but has thrown 13 innings of shutout ball in his two starts that the Astros won.
