<h3>Zito trying to avoid longest losing streak of career</h3>



<div class="pre">San Diego (42-33) at San Francisco (33-42) 10:15 pm EDT</div>

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) - Barry Zito takes the mound on Tuesdaylooking to avoid the longest losing streak of his career, as theSan Francisco Giants continue their three-game series with theSan Diego Padres.

For the most part, Zito (6-8, 4.83 ERA) has not lived up to hisenormous seven-year $126 million contract he received in theoffseason.

The former Cy Young Award winner has lost three straight starts,allowing 27 runs over his last 13 1/3 innings. The losingstreak comes after he won three straight starts in which hegave up just two runs over 20 innings.

In his last start, Zito allowed six runs and five hits in aseason-low tying four frames against Milwaukee on Wednesday.

San Francisco won the opener on Monday thanks to a walk-offsingle by Pedro Feliz in the 11th inning. The Giants havewon three in a row following an eight-game losing streak.

Meanwhile, their National League West rival Padres are headed inthe opposite direction.

David Wells (3-5,4.71) takes the mound for San Diego, which has lostfive of six. Wells has gone winless longer than Zito, and iscoming off a loss to Baltimore on Thursday in which he allowedthree runs - two earned - and a season high-tying 10 hits.

The 44-year-old has not won since he beat Washington on June 3,losing two straight starts and receiving a no-decision inanother.
