Tonight at 10:10 p.m. ET, the San Francisco Giants (3-1) and San Diego Padres (1-3) clash in the second match of a four-game series live from Petco Park in San Diego.
San Francisco enters on a two-game winning streak after taking two of three from the Arizona Diamondbacks and winning the series-opener on Thursday. The Giants are in the midst of a season-opening seven-game road swing.
San Diego is on a two-game skid and has just one win in four tries thus far after dropping its home-opener Thursday. The Padres enter the second contest of a seven-game home stand.
Tim Lincecum (12-9, 4.74 ERA in 33 games and 26 starts in 2014) takes the ball for San Francisco while San Diego counters with Brandon Morrow, who went 1-3 with a 5.67 ERA in 13 games (six starts) last season after missing a lot of time with a hand injury.

The Giants won the season-opener 1-0 against the Padres on Thursday with shortstop Brandon Crawford scoring the lone run of the game in the top of the 12th inning after getting driven in by pinch-hitter Justin Maxwell.
The Padres were held to seven hits in the game -- which was actually one more than the Giants etched out -- but only had one extra-base hit, which came from newly acquired outfielder Justin Upton.
Both teams were prone to leaving men on base as San Francisco stranded eight base runners and San Diego went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
The Giants finished 88-74 last season and in second place in the NL West en route to notching their third World Series crown in five years.
San Francisco toppled the Pittsburgh Pirates in the wild-card game, the Washington Nationals in the NLDS, the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLCS and the AL champion Kansas City Royals in the World Series in a thrilling Game 7.
The Padres, meanwhile, went 77-85 and finished in third place in the NL West, marking the eighth straight season San Diego missed the postseason.
