After finishing the first half by taking three out of four against the Los Angeles Dodgers in LA, the Padres were hoping to ride some momentum into the All-Star break. Instead, San Diego fell flat in their second-half debut, falling to the Braves 3-5 on Friday night.

The Friars will get another crack at the National League East leaders on Saturday evening. The Braves are now 55-37, a modest six games ahead of the Washington Nationals who are second in the division. Atlanta is in the Top-10 for every offensive category in the MLB, including 4th in RBIs and slugging percentage.

Meanwhile, the Padres once again fell below .500 and now sit at 45-46, 14 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West. They’re still very much in play for a wild card spot though, 2.0 games back from what feels like a free-for-all in the NL.

On the mound for San Diego, Joey Lucchesi will look to build off of a strong finish to the first half. His last seven games show a 3.51 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and nearly 3:1 K/BB rate. Against the Dodgers before the break, Lucchesi went a solid 6.1 innings, surrendering three runs with four strikeouts and no walks.

The Padres hope the second-year starter can go deep into games and relieve some of the pressure from a crippled bullpen. He’ll have his work cut out for him as he faces Julio Teheran, who owns a 3.75 ERA and 1.361 WHIP this season, though he’s sporting a 4.57 FIP. He’s 5-4 against the Padres in his career.
