Preview: Dodgers Stack Lineup With Left-Handed Batters In Rubber Match Against Padres
Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY SportsFor a fourth time since July 22, the Los Angeles Dodgers are in need of a win in order to avoid losing their first series since the Washington Nationals took two of three games at Dodger Stadium from June 5-7.
Over the last six weeks the Dodgers are 15-0-3 in series played. Kenta Maeda will look to do his part to keep the streak alive as he faces the Padres a fourth time this season. Maeda is 0-2 with a 5.93 ERA thus far against San Diego.
He allowed five runs on eight hits in just 3.2 innings during a July 2 start at Petco Park. Since that time, however, he’s 4-0 with a 1.33 ERA in five outings.
