San Diego will look to even the series with right-handed veteran Yu Darvish (0-0) on the mound for his third start of the season. In his first two games Darvish has just a 1.04 ERA in 8.2 innings pitched. He will face-off with Miles Mikolas (0-1), who gave up five runs in 4.1 innings in his first start.
The two runs scored in the first game of this series were the lowest in a game this season for San Diego. The Padres will look to get the bats going after finishing with just two runs on five hits, both runs coming on solo home runs from Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis Jr.Â
This season Tatis Jr. is off to a torrid start with three home runs, tied for the third-most in the National League. His power has been wasted with two of those home runs coming with no runners on base and only four RBIs so far this season. San Diego has a potential contender for the NL home run leader this season with the pace Tatis Jr. is setting.
