SD Padres starter Clayton Richard had a miserable July, going 0-3 with an 8.28 ERA in five starts, as his control has not been good. He'll face a Giants lineup that he has never been good against, with a lifetime .374 against him.
The Padres are in a major funk offensively and don't have the hitters to get back on track. SF goes with a rookie pitcher who has been tough and has five-straight quality starts.
Take the SF Giants this afternoon to get another win.
