SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco Bay Area native Robbie Erlin hopes to treat his family and friends to his first win at AT&T Park on Tuesday night when he pitches for the San Diego Padres against the San Francisco Giants.
Padres right-hander Bryan Mitchell came within one out of his first career shutout Monday night in San Diego's 5-0 win in the series opener.
Mitchell was pulled after loading the bases in the bottom of the ninth on a Brandon Crawford double and two walks. Kirby Yates came on to strike out pinch-hitter Austin Slater to nail down the Padres' fifth shutout of the season.
