Matt Waldron is the only Padres pitcher with a quality start in the team's past 13 games. Rookie Adam Mazur will look to stop that streak against the Washington Nationals in Game 2 of the series Tuesday night.

Predictions

The starting pitching matchup features former Padres prospect MacKenzie Gore for the Nationals and Adam Mazur for the Padres. Gore, with a 6-6 record and a 3.49 ERA, has stabilized the Nationals' rotation. Mazur, 0-2 with a 7.27 ERA, has tried and failed to do the same in four starts for the Padres. The Nationals' strength against righties, combined with Gore's reliability on the road, gives them a slight edge. Mazur will need to limit walks in order to go deep in the game, but history is not on his — or his team's — side.

More

• The Padres have 63 hits and 36 runs since the start of June — best in MLB.
