\n

The San Diego Padres won’t have to wait long for a chance to exact revenge on the Philadelphia Phillies.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

After getting swept by the Phillies in San Diego last week, the Padres look to get even in Philadelphia as the teams open a three-game series Tuesday. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Philadelphia outscored San Diego 10-3 over three games at Petco Park, bookended by a pair of 3-0 shutouts. The middle game of the set was a 4-3 triumph in which Aaron Nola outdueled Randy Vasquez — and that will be the pitching matchup again in Tuesday’s contest.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Nola (3-4, 5.72 ERA) has had a rocky start to the season, although his most recent outing against the Padres was among his 2026 highlights. The veteran right-hander held San Diego to two runs and three hits over six innings, striking out five without a walk.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“He was getting ahead of guys, the sinker was really good, curveball was sharp,” analyzed Philadelphia shortstop Trea Turner. “I thought he looked great. The old Nola that I faced many times is not very fun, so it was good to see him do that for us.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Since that outing, Nola and his wife had their second child. His new son, Walter, will be eager to see if his father can win back-to-back starts for the first time this year.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Nola, who is 4-4 with a 3.24 ERA lifetime against San Diego, will once again be opposed by Vasquez (5-3, 3.28). The Dominican right-hander has lost his last two starts after opening the season 5-1 with a 2.68 ERA.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Vasquez has faced the Phillies twice previously – including last Tuesday – and has given up 10 runs in 10 innings. He allowed four runs in 5 2\/3 frames in the most recent matchup, surrendering homers to Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto and Turner in the first three innings.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

All four runs that Vasquez allowed in that contest came with two outs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“(Pitching with two outs) is something that Randy’s usually good at — and he was better at it later in the game,” San Diego manager Craig Stammen said. “But it’s part of pitching. It’s not easy. It’s tough, especially against a team like that. … He fought hard, stuck with it. I’m very proud of how Randy finished the game.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

After facing the Phillies, the Padres traveled to Washington for a weekend series with the Nationals. San Diego lost two of three, including a 4-2 setback Sunday. Jackson Merrill went 3-for-4 with a run scored in a losing effort.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“We haven’t collectively been able to put at-bats together one through nine,” said Stammen, whose team has lost six of its last seven games.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Philadelphia, meanwhile, lost two of three against the Los Angeles Dodgers to conclude their road trip with a 4-2 mark.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

In Sunday’s 9-1 defeat to the Dodgers, the Phillies managed only a solo home run by Bryson Stott. The team has scored 26 runs in its last 11 games.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“At the end of day, it comes down to whether or not you score the runs,” Turner said. “And we haven’t done that.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Realmuto was hit on the left wrist with a pitch Sunday but X-rays were negative and he may be available for the opener.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
