Game 3 Wednesday, 4:10pm

Tyson Ross (3-5, 3.75 ERA) vs. Williams Perez (1-0, 3.55 ERA)

Ross wasn’t at his sharpest in his last start against the Reds. He did earn the win after pitching 5 innings and striking out 7. He allowed two runs and walked 3 as well. He only has one career start against the Braves and it came last year at Petco Park. He went 6 innings, struck out 7 and allowed two runs in a no-decision.

Perez will be making his 5th career start. The 24 year-old Venezuelan made is major league debut on May 8th. In his last start, he allowed four runs and walking five in five innings. He was signed by the Braves in 2009.

The Padres have awoken offensively this past week. Matt Kemp has been slowly snapping out of his slump. In the last week, Kemp is hitting .346 with a home run and a .931 OPS. Yonder Alonso has played very well since coming off of the DL. In 5 games he is hitting .421 with a home run and 6 RBI.
