The Dodgers head home to take on the Padres tonight in the first game of a three-game series. The Dodgers and Padres have only seven times so far this year, with the Dodgers winning five of the seven games. This series kicks off 12 games between the two teams between now and the end of September.
The Dodgers will send Tony Gonsolin to the mound against Padres lefty Sean Manaea. Gonsolin is 1-0 against the Padres this year, pitching 7.2 strong innings on July 1 in a 5-1 victory. Manaea has faced the Dodgers once this year, taking the loss in a 10-2 Dodgers win on Apr 24 after allowing six earned runs in 4.
