Padres @ D-backs
At Chase Field
RHP
8-7, 3.54 ERA, 137 SO

Rockies @ Dodgers
At Dodger Stadium
RHP
8-10, 7.19 ERA, 57 SO
Senzatela, who started a postseason game last year, took a step back this season (much of it in Triple-A). Success in his final few starts will be measured not only by numbers but by whether he can figure out how to use his secondary pitches.

12-5, 2.45 ERA, 142 SO
