The Padres continue their three-game set with the Los AngelesDodgers on Wednesday at PETCO Park.

Maddux (4-3, 3.92 ERA), who was traded to the Dodgers at thetrade deadline last season, signed a one-year, $10 millioncontract in the offseason to pitch for the Padres. The41-year-old is looking to win his fifth straight start at PETCO,the spacious park where San Diego has shut out the oppositionseven times.

The four-time National League Cy Young Award winner is 14-7 witha 2.75 ERA in 32 career starts against the Dodgers. OnThursday, he yielded two runs - one earned - and nine hits in 62/3 innings, but did not receive a decision in the Padres' 4-2,11-inning win over Pittsburgh.

Randy Wolf (7-3, 3.68), who will try to win his fifth straightdecision, takes the mound for the Dodgers, winners of nine oftheir last 13 contests. He allowed four runs and seven hitsover five innings on Friday in a 5-4 victory over the Pirates.

The lefthander is 5-2 with a 5.63 ERA in eight career startsagainst San Diego.
