San Diego has been good on the road this season, carrying a 43-36 away record. They had their four-game winning streak against Colorado snapped on Friday but will look to even the series tonight. San Diego hold sole control of the third wildcard spot, but the Milwaukee Brewers are right on their tail, just two games behind.
Chad Kuhl gets the ball Saturday for the Rockies, carrying a 6-9 record and a 5.48 ERA. He has had a season to forget so far, but he will face a decent Padres lineup that has been inconsistent of late.
Recently the Rockies right-hander's performances have been terrible, sporting an 8.40 ERA in his last six outings. The Colorado right-hander has been poor in his home stadium too, which is no surprise, but a lot of factors could work against him tonight. Expect San Diego to try and avenge last night's loss, as every game is crucial for them.
Yu Darvish, who is 15-7 with a 3.05 ERA, will take the hill Saturday for San Diego. Last start, he was solid, going six shutout innings, allowing one hit while striking out eight. He has been excellent again this season, and he will face a decent Rockies lineup that's very comfortable in their home park.
Darvish has had a 14-inning scoreless streak he'll look to extend. The Padres right-hander has been pretty good away from home this season and tossed a good start last time here.
