The last time they squared off was over a month and a half ago when the San Francisco Giants bested the Padres over three games.
A lot has happened over the last month and a half, but both teams are still in the same places as when they last met.

They will get their hot-handed shortstop Brandon Crawford back, who is coming off paternity leave for the birth of his fourth child.
