The Padres have lost six straight, five of them by at least two runs. Thursday vs. the Dodgers they actually led by six – and lost 12-7. That was one day after losing by 20 at Wrigley (I was there - it was that ugly). They’re a team that really needs the All-Star Break. But it’s not coming here. Instead, they get Shohei Ohtani, who blanked the Padres over five innings earlier this season. The Dodgers, meanwhile, are back to pounding the ball, scoring nine-plus runs in three of their last four. Padres RHP Michael King pitched a gem vs. L.A. in May, but over his last seven starts is 1-5 with a 5.45 ERA.
