Boyd vs King: Low Scoring Game Predicted at Petco Park

In late July when San Diego was scuffling with a lack of reliable starting pitching at the back end of the rotation, manager Craig Stammen and the Padres turned to what they called “pitching chaos” by cobbling together games leaning on their bullpen.Facing a scheduled bullpen day against the Dodgers, the red-hot Padres (87-70) offense could never fully find a rhythm against eight different Los Angeles pitchers in a 7-0 loss on Tuesday night at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium.Michael King saw his streak of eight quality starts in a row end for the Padres, thanks in large part to all five of his runs allowed coming with two outs. Freddie Freeman drove in three runs for the Dodgers (97-60), two as part of a pivotal four-run second inning, while Tommy Edman and Will Smith hit solo homers off San Diego relievers.
