The Giants look to gain more ground in the divisional race by sending their ace to the hill in the series finale.

San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants

San Diego had its five-game winning streak snapped with Saturday’s 3-2 loss to San Francisco at AT&T Park.  “We had our chances,” said manager Bud Black, whose team lost to the Giants for just the second time in 10 chances this season.  The Padres left a season-high 16 runners on base and were 2-for-18 with runners in scoring position.  The club has posted an impressive 13-5 record on Sundays this year (+880), which is  their best winning percentage of any day.  San Diego has won each of its last eight Sunday games and 11 of the last 12.   With the team being 21 games over .500, it’s important to note that the only other San Diego teams to reach that mark at any point of the season are the two National League champion clubs (1998 and 1994).  The Padres bring in a solid 23-13 record in day games this season (+1,160) and the total stands at 17-14 O/U in those contests.
