Padres look for series win against Phillies: August 18 preview

Can the San Diego Padres return the favor to the Philadelphia Phillies?

That’s the question today, as the Friars look to do what the Phillies did to them two months ago: take two out of three games in their home ballpark. But earning a second straight win at Citizens Bank Park won’t come easy.

Sunday’s starter is Joey Lucchesi, who hasn’t been able to deliver a win for San Diego since the All-Star Break. The team has lost every one of his starts since—and Lucchesi has been tagged for the loss in two out of his last three outings.
