Your San Diego Padres are looking to make some magic happen once again as they kick off game two of their weekend home series against the Los Angeles Dodgers today.

Fernando Tatis Jr. was the talk of town on Friday as he bombed two home runs early in the outing against Clayton Kershaw and led the way as the Friars came out on top 5-2.

Saturday's lineup has just been released for the Padres and El Niño is set to to leadoff once again with his three elite teammest following him in Manny Machado, Juan Soto, and Xander Bogaerts.

Brett Sullivan will also be returning at the catcher position for the Friars. He is coming off of a fiery Wednesday performance earlier this week that saw him record his first major league home run.

Sullivan was able to record four RBI's in that 7-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds but this will be one of his biggest challenges yet. Blake Snell, who has been San Diego's most consistent pitcher in 2023 with a 5.28 ERA, will play a key role as well here.

We'll see everybody at 5:40 pm PT sharp for a rematch after yesterday's battle at Petco Park.
