San Diego PadresLos Angeles Angels

The San Diego Padres are coming off a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday, and are looking to take the series on Sunday.

The 14-7 Padres have won four consecutive series, and are looking to extend that streak against the 11-11 Angels before they travel to Colorado for a three-game series with the Rockies.

Padres vs Angels Pitching Matchup on Sunday

Right-handed pitcher Michael King is taking the mound for the Padres for his fifth start of the season.

King has looked like more like the 2024 version of himself this year after an injury-riddled 2025 campaign. He has a 2.78 ERA with 20 strikeouts to 10 walks over 22.2 innings.

He's gone six innings in each of his last two starts, allowing a total of three earned runs.

Opposite King will be Angels right-handed pitcher Walbert Urena, who's made just two appearances this season, allowing six unearned runs on five hits with three walks and two strikeouts.

Left-hander Reid Detmers was the scheduled starter for San Diego. It remains to be seen if Urena is the opener for Detmers with the right-handed heavy top of the Padres lineup.

Detmers has made two good starts and two bad starts this season.

In his good starts (against the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees), he's gone a combined 13.2 innings, allowing just one run with 13 strikeouts.

In his bad starts (against the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves), he's pitched a total of nine innings, allowing eight earned runs, also with 13 strikeouts.
