The San Diego Padres optioned pitcher Adam Mazur to Triple-A El Paso, one day after the right-hander started and threw 2.2 innings in an eventual 6-4 win. Alek Jacob has been recalled from El Paso to take Mazur's place on the active roster. Michael King gets the start today.

Prediction

San Diego's Michael King (8-6, 3.28 ERA) squares off against Baltimore's Dean Kremer (4-6, 4.43 ERA). King has been solid in his last outings, allowing just one earned run in each of his last four starts. Kremer has been shakier, allowing three or more earned runs in two of his last three starts. With the Padres on a hot streak and given their solid pitching, they might have a slight edge. However, Baltimore has been strong at home and could bounce back. If the game hinges on a ninth-inning save opportunity for the Orioles, expect to see someone other than Craig Kimbrel, who allowed a two-run home run to Jurickson Profar in the ninth inning of the Padres' 6-4 win Friday.
