Eaton, Padres seek sweep over Schmidt, Giants
San Diego (30-19) at San Francisco (23-25), 4:05 pm EDT
SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) --
Adam Eaton
takes the mound in search of his seventh consecutive win as the
San Diego Padres
look to complete a three-game sweep of the
San Francisco Giants
on Sunday.
Eaton (7-1, 3.49 ERA) has posted a 6-0 mark with a 3.59 ERA over his last seven starts. The 27-year-old righthander allowed three runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings in San Diego's 9-5 triumph over Arizona on Tuesday. Eaton is 2-4 with a 3.86 ERA in 10 career starts against San Francisco.
Jason Schmidt
(3-1, 4.79) counters for the Giants, who will attempt to avoid being swept at home for the first time this season.
Schmidt yielded three runs and five hits against the
Los Angeles Dodgers
on Tuesday in his first start since returning from the disabled list. The Giants' ace struck out seven and did not walk a batter. He is 10-6 with a 4.34 ERA in 21 career starts against the Padres.
After pounding 15 hits in a 9-3 triumph Friday, San Diego rallied for three runs in the eighth inning to post a 5-3 victory on Saturday.
Phil Nevin
blasted a three-run homer for the Padres, who have won eight of their last 11.
