The Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Diego Padres will meet at Petco Park in San Diego, California on Friday, July 24, 2020 at 9:10 PM ET. The low-profile Arizona won 85 games last season and the Diamondbacks are confident enough that they have done all necessary preparations this off-season to improve their playoff chances. While San Diego finished last in the NL West with a record of 70-90 including six straight losses after the season ended.

The Arizona Diamondbacks, in their direction of improving their defences in the field, add Starling Marte and Kole Clhoun in their rotation to the outfield. This action by Arizona will also add impact to the batting order after finishing 18th in home runs last season. The Diamondbacks also managed to acquire the services of Pitcher Madison Bumgarner to give more flexibility in their pitching staff rotation. Joining the 31-year old Bumgarner in the pitching rotation are Robbie Ray and Zac Gallen as no. 2 and no. 3 pitchers.

The San Diego Padres added three new bats in their roster with Trent Grisham, Tommy Pham, and Jurickson Profar. The Padres will retain their pitching rotation that includes Drew Pomeranz, Emilio Pagan, Pierce Johnson, and Tim Hill.

In his career against the Diamondbacks, he is 1-0 with a 1.08 ERA and 20 strikeouts.

Arizona, with a record of 85-77, finished a distant second place in the National League West but 21 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers.

San Diego expected much to start the season with strong batting after signing slugger Manny Machado. The Padres will also have a new manager in the dugout as Jayce Tingler takes over the position.
