The San Diego Padres are looking to win another series on Wednesday night in the second of three games against the Seattle Mariners.
The Padres beat the Mariners, 4-1, on Tuesday night behind a dominant pitching performance from Michael King and the San Diego's best three relievers in Adrian Morejon, Jason Adam and Mason Miller.
The Padres (11-6) enter Wednesday's game having won six in a row and nine of their last 10. The Mariners (8-10) saw their four-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday night.

Vásquez has been the Padres' best starting pitcher this season, sporting a 1.02 ERA across three starts (17.2 innings) with 19 strikeouts to four walks.
