Where: Petco Park, San Diego
When: 10:10 p.m.
TV; radio: SPSO; 680, 93.7, 106.7
Probable starting pitchers: Braves RH Matt Wisler (5-2, 4.74) vs. RH James Shields (8-5, 3.89 ERA)
What's new: Wisler was drafted by the Padres in the seventh round in 2011 and was considered their top pitching prospect when the Padres packaged him in the trade for Craig Kimbrel just before the start of the regular season. Wisler will face his old team in the 11th start of his major league career. Michael Bourn has fared well in the past against Shields, going 9-for-26 (.346) with a double and could use some good karma to overcome his tough luck early on with Atlanta. Nick Markakis is hitting .311 (23-for-74) with five doubles, two homers and nine RBIs against Shields, much of it when he was with Tampa Bay.
