Padres vs Giants: Pivetta vs Houser

Padres Fight for a Win in Game Three, Pivetta Takes the Mound Against Giants Houser

The San Diego Padres face a crucial game three against the San Francisco Giants, aiming to avoid a sweep before hitting the road. With the series currently at two games to none in favor of the Giants, the Padres are eager to secure a victory at Petco Park.

Nick Pivetta, the Padres right-handed pitcher, will take the mound for his second start of the season. Despite a challenging opening day performance against Detroit, Pivetta has a strong track record, boasting a 2.87 ERA in 182 innings pitched last season.

The Giants will counter with Adrian Houser, who recently signed a two-year, $22 million deal. Houser posted a 3.31 ERA in 21 starts split between Chicago and Tampa last year and has been particularly effective at Petco Park, where he holds a 1.93 ERA in 14 innings pitched.

The Padres have made some lineup changes, with Fernando Tatis Jr. leading off, Ramon Laureano DH-ing, and Bryce Johnson making his first start in left field. These adjustments aim to spark some offense after early struggles.

Fans can catch the game live at 1:10 PM Pacific Time on Padres.TV, the MLB app, or local cable channels like Cox channel 83. Radio broadcasts are available on 97.3 The Fan in English or XEMO 860 in Spanish. Tune in to see if the Padres can mount a comeback and secure a win.
