SAN FRANCISCO -- Two of April's worst starting pitchers will attempt to get into the win column before the calendar flips to May when the San Diego Padres visit the San Francisco Giants on Friday night to begin a three-game series.
The clubs met in San Diego during the first week of the season, with the Padres winning two of three.
Right-handers Luis Perdomo (0-1) of the Padres and Jeff Samardzija (0-4) of the Giants will duel in Friday's series opener.
Perdomo also started the first game of the series in San Diego, and left well before the Padres had wrapped up a 7-6 win.
