The San Diego Padres will look to end their five-game losing streak at home Friday night in the second game of a four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

A blown strike-three call at the end of Thursday's game overshadowed yet another close, one-run loss. The Padres were limited to one at-bat from injured third baseman Manny Machado, as a pinch hitter, and he'll be on the bench to start Friday's game as well.

Michael King, who shut out the Diamondbacks over six innings on May 4, gets the assignment against the D-backs. Here's what else you need to know about Friday's game

Predictions

The matchup of starting pitchers Michael King (Padres) and Brandon Pfaadt (Diamondbacks), could make the difference in the game. King has been resilient, holding a 3.82 ERA; Pfaadt's stands at 4.32. Yet, the Diamondbacks have found consistent offensive power, having scored four runs or more in six of their last seven outings. As the Padres have grappled to tally runs, expect another close game with the Padres needing a big hit to pull out the win.
