Padres Look to Take Second Game of Final Home Series vs. Rockies

The San Diego Padres are looking to take their final series at home against the Colorado Rockies, and extend their current 5-game win streak to 6 in Game 2 of a 3-game set on Tuesday night. The Padres will send Robbie Erlin, who is (4-4) with a 4.53 ERA to the mound, to face-off against Jorge De LaRosa, who has a (14-11) record with a 4.19 ERA for the Rockies.

Alexi Amarista has been on fire the past few games, hitting 2 home runs in the past 4 games, and coming up with clutch hits in big situations. Another hitter who has been stepping it up is Rene Rivera, who went 2-for-4 last night, with an RBI double to bring in the only run of the game last night.
