The Independence Day game pits Odrisamer Despaigne against Carlos Martinez.
The Padres began their second half of the season with a big win over the Cardinals. With a series split in the bag, they'll try to lock up a series win this afternoon and keep their winning streak going.
Odrisamer Despaigne toes the rubber in game 3 today, hoping to turn around his road struggles. Since making his major league debut last season, Despaigne has posted a 5.47 ERA on the road, compared to 2.96 at home. His one prior appearance at Busch Stadium was one of his worst.
