The San Diego Padres are looking to win another series on Wednesday night in the second of three games against the Seattle Mariners.

The Padres beat the Mariners, 4-1, on Tuesday night behind a dominant pitching performance from Michael King and San Diego's best three relievers in Adrian Morejon, Jason Adam and Mason Miller.

The Padres (11-6) enter Wednesday's game having won six in a row and nine of their last 10. The Mariners (8-10) saw their four-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday night.

A Padres win on Wednesday would put them in a great position to take this year's Vedder Cup.
