SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Padres right-hander Colin Rea needs to make the most of his start against the visiting New York Yankees as the teams open a three-game interleague series Friday night. Calvin Ridley Falcons Jersey .Rea (4-3, 5.05 ERA) has won once in his last eight starts, but that victory came in his most recent outing when beating the Reds after allowing four runs (three earned) in five innings.Right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (6-5, 5.19) goes for the Yankees, who are coming off of two straight walk-off victories over the Texas Rangers. Eovaldi has struggled of late, allowing at least five runs in four of his past five starts. Hell be looking to snap a three-game losing streak and that includes falling to the Twins on Sunday, when was charged with five runs over six innings.Rea is required to shine for a couple reasons. His opportunities could be dwindling in the second half as the Padres get healthy and they aim to keep Rea fit, too.The thought process would be to push him to the back of the rotation coming off the All-Star break so he gets a longer period of time off, Padres manager Andy Green said. Just to control his innings.If the Padres can tap the brakes on Rea, they said it will serve him better in the long run. The most innings hes collected in a season is 139 and he did that in Class-A ball in 2014.Also, the Padres rotation could get crowded, making Reas showing against the Yankees -- and in one more start before the All-Star Game -- critical.Right-hander Andrew Cashner is set to come off the disabled list because of a strained neck and could start in Sundays series finale against the Yankees.Tyson Ross, another right-hander and the teams opening day starter, is gaining ground on his sore throwing shoulder. He hasnt pitched since his first start but it appears he could rejoin the rotation soon after the All-Star Game.So that puts pressure on Rea, 25, to shine while he has the chance.Its all about command with him, Green said. Hes got the stuff to compete, but sometimes he picks at the corners and falls behind hitters.Thats what happened in Reas latest start in Cincinnati. His biggest downfall was matching a career high with four walks. But like Green said, Rea has stuff. His seven strikeouts against the Reds were a career-best.Among Reas biggest challenges Friday will be containing Yankees outfielder Carlos Beltran -- if he plays with his sore right hamstring.Its probably easier to manage if he was DHing but were going to San Diego, Yankees skipper Joe Girardi told mlb.com. So that is a concern.San Diegos Wil Myers, who earned his stripes in the American League, has hit .304 in 102 at-bats against the Yankees. The first baseman continues his push for an All-Star roster spot with a sizzling June.He had 21 extra-base hits in June, tying the franchise mark for most in a month. Myers 33 RBI are the tops for any Padre in June.A rejuvenated Padres offense has scored at least five runs in seven straight home games, the first time thats ever been done by the local nine at Petco Park. Deion Sanders Falcons Jersey .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. Julio Jones Womens Jersey .S. Open champion Justin Rose birdied the first hole with a blind shot he hit to a foot of the pin, and he stayed in front Tuesday until he completed a 4-under 67 for a two-shot lead over Jason Dufner in PGA Grand Slam of Golf. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/ .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants expect to have new infielder Eduardo Nunez in uniform and ready for action when they host the Washington Nationals in the second game of a four-game series Friday night.The Giants acquired the American League All-Star from the Minnesota Twins on Thursday during their 4-2 loss to the Nationals.San Francisco sent minor league pitcher Adalberto Mejia to the Twins in order to acquire the versatile infielder who was hitting .296 with 12 home runs for Minnesota this season.Nunez likely will start at third base Friday as the Giants continue to await the return of Matt Duffy from the disabled list. Duffy, who has missed 32 games with an Achilles strain, is tentatively scheduled to begin a rehab assignment in the minor leagues this weekend.Nunez, 29, went 0-for-4 in Minnesotas 6-2 win over Baltimore on Thursday night. He made his 49th start of the season at shortstop, but he also has received the call at third base 28 times and at second base on four occasions.Hell be used as we would use any utility infielder, Giants general manager Bobby Evans said of Nunez, who leads the AL with 27 stolen bases. Hell help with his speed and experience and bat, and it gives us some versatility and flexibility.Coincidentally, fill-in third baseman Conor Gillaspie was the Giants most productive offensive player Thursday. He went 2-for-3 on a night when the Giants got only five hits, and he drove in San Franciscos first run with an infield out.One day after they were held to four hits and one run over seven innings by Tanner Roark, the Giants will see Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer (10-6, 2.92 ERA).. Kaleb McGary Falcons Jersey. .Scherzer has had more than his fair share of problems against the Giants in general and at AT&T Park in particular. He gotten bombed to the tune of an 0-2 record and 7.88 ERA during his career in San Francisco.He is 1-4 with a 6.85 ERA in five all-time starts against the Giants. That mark does not count Game 4 of the 2012 World Series in Detroit, when he pitched well for the Tigers (three runs in 6 1/3 innings), only to see San Francisco finish off its 4-0 sweep with a run in the ninth off the bullpen.The Giants will counter Scherzer with Jeff Samardzija (9-6, 4.22 ERA).Chances are the first batter Samardzija will see Friday night will be Trea Turner, who continued his recent hot run with two hits, a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursdays win.Nationals manager Dusty Baker indicated before the game that he would flip-flop Turner and Ben Revere in center field.Its not to say much, but youll take any edge that you can get, Baker said, according to the Washington Post. And tomorrow will be something different. Im hoping that I dont have to talk about my lineup every day and we can just go with it and see how it works. I mean, everything is about the odds and whos going good, who hits whom, whether the pitcher matches up better against right-handers or left-handers, if you need more speed. All that goes into my decision.Few Nationals are hotter right now than Turner, who has hits in nine of his 10 game appearances since the All-Star break and has reached base in all 10.
