Prediction

San Diego’s solid run, and Pittsburgh’s struggles, have to end sometime. It might just come against King (9-6, 3.34 ERA), who has curiously been stronger on the road than at home. At Petco this year, he owns a 1-4 record with a 4.25 ERA (23 ER, 48.2 IP) and 1.29 WHIP. Luis Ortiz (5-2, 3.40 ERA) pitches for Pittsburgh and could benefit if the Pirates jump on King early.

More

• The Padres are an MLB-best 49-11 when they score first.

Ha-Seong Kim went 2-for-3 on Monday, extending his modest hitting streak to four games. He has raised his batting average to .230 during the streak.

• Padres pitcher Bryan Hoeing tossed 1.2 scoreless innings Monday, extending his streak of scoreless innings to 7.1 across his first four appearances for the Padres.
