He is unbeaten in his last eight turns, not absorbing aloss since July 2. Included in that stretch was Friday's 6-2 win over theWashington Nationals in which the lefthander yielded one run andeight hits over seven innings. In addition to his 22-12 recordwith a 3.46 ERA in 44 career starts against the Padres, Glavinehas not lost at home since May 30 - a span of six starts. His counterpart will be Justin Germano (6-7, 4.18), who has wononly once since June 14 - dropping seven decisions - afterstarting out the season with five consecutive wins.
