The San Diego Padres' lineup is getting tested in the series against the host Miami Marlins. San Diego prevailed 2-1 in a game started by Miami's Eury Perez on Monday but lost to Edward Cabrera 4-3 on Tuesday.

BOTTOM LINE: The San Diego Padres take a 1-0 advantage into the next game of the series against the Miami Marlins. Miami has a 22-29 record at home and a 46-53 record overall. The Marlins have a 37-19 record in games when they record at least eight hits.

The lone run for the Padres before the top of the ninth inning came in the top of the third inning. Martin Maldonado led off the top of the third inning with a double. He later scored when Luis Arraez hit a one-out single to right field for the first run of the game for San Diego.

In need of outfield help, the Padres have been linked to Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers, who has broken out as a legitimate All-Star level bat. Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller detailed why he believes the Padres make sense for the Marlins’ slugger.

Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera has been the subject of trade speculation with the July 31 deadline approaching, as has Sandy Alcantara.

The Miami Marlins have been named in a huge three-team trade with the Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres before the MLB trade deadline.
