This is an 8* on SAN DIEGO

San Diego probably needed Monday off as they pulled out a thrilling come from behind 8-7 victory at Dodger Stadium Sunday night. They trailed 7-1 going into the seventh, but rallied for two runs in each of the next three innings to tie it up, then won it in the 11th. The Padres are now 4-3 vs. the Dodgers in 2021, something they ought to be very proud of. They are also 3-1 against Arizona, who they’ll play each of the next two days. The Diamondbacks were San Diego’s first opponent this season and it was almost a sweep. The Padres lost the final game 3-1 after outscoring the D’backs 19-9 in the first three. Arizona had its own memorable Sunday as they shut the Braves out twice and allowed only one hit over the course of a doubleheader. While only 3-10 the previous two seasons at Chase Field, the Padres turn to Chris Paddack, who has a 1.95 ERA in six starts vs. Arizona. Diamondbacks pitching won’t be as good tonight as it was Sunday because Merrill Kelly is on the mound and his ERA is 7.71 through four starts. Two of those starts have seen Kelly allow six or more runs. Play on SAN DIEGO
