Tim Hudson is returning from a stint on the disabled list, so it's unlikely he will be able to give the San Francisco Giants the innings they need to rest an overworked bullpen. Ian Kennedy has lost four straight starts for the San Diego Padres, beginning with a defeat to San Francisco. San Francisco (49-43) swept three-game series on both sides of the All-Star break, including a weekend series at Arizona in which Giants relievers allowed one run in 13 2-3 innings.
