Ben Burns: Padres vs. Cardinals
Matchup
Tonight's game will have a playoff feel and should feature quality starting pitching.
Reyes was decent his last time out, allowing two runs at Milwaukee. The fact that he had 9 K's (1 walk) in just 5 1/3 innings shows he was really dominating the hitters. Reyes has been significantly better at home than on the road and pitched 6 1/3 shutout innings, also with 9 K's to just 1 walk, his last start here.
Meanwhile, Young has been masterful on the road. In fact, he has yet to lose in 14 starts away from home, going 6-0 with a 2.50 ERA and holding opposing hitters to a mere .179 batting average. Its also worth noting that both pitchers will have the advantage of facing tonight's opponent for the first time.
