<div class="pre">San Diego (85-71) at San Francisco (70-87) 10:15 pm EDT</div>

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) - The San Diego Padres will be looking totry and turn things around and make a strong push toward thepostseason when they take on the San Francisco Giants in thesecond game of a three-game series on Tuesday.


Mired in a four-game losing streak, the Padres have fallen intoa tie with the Philadelphia Phillies (85-71) in the NationalLeague wild card standings. San Diego is also just one-gameahead of the Colorado Rockies (84-72), who had swept the Padresthis past weekend.


Less than one week ago, the San Diego Padres were in the midstof a seven-game winning streak, and held a 2 1/2-game lead overPhiladelphia in the wild card race as recently as lastWednesday.


Brett Tomko (4-11, 5.36 ERA) will be looking to get San Diegoback into the win column when he takes the hill. The veteranrighthander has won his last two starts, including a victoryover the Giants on September 15. Tomko pitched six shutoutinnings in that start, allowing just four hits with fivestrikeouts.


San Francisco will counter with Matt Cain (7-16, 3.68). The22-year-old righthander has lost three of his last four startsand has an 0-3 record in five starts against the Padres thisseason. Cain was defeated by San Diego on September 15, givingup just one run and one hit in six innings.


The Giants defeated San Diego, 9-4, in the first game of theseries on Monday.
