SAN FRANCISCO -- Ryan Schimpf will attempt to hit a home run for a fourth consecutive game Saturday when the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants continue their three-game series.
Schimpf made it three in a row in Friday's series opener with a two-run shot off Giants right-hander Jeff Samardzija in the fifth inning.
Samardzija was pitching a no-hitter at the time.
Schimpf's three-game run is a career best and gets him halfway to the Padres' record of six, which was set by third baseman Craig Nettles in 1984.
