Lyles riding hot streak into matchup vs. Dodgers
(MLB.com San Diego Padres)

Seemingly out of nowhere, Jordan Lyles has become one of the Padres` most reliable starters, helping to solidify the back end of their rotation. He followed his perfect-game bid last week with 5 2/3 solid innings in Pittsburgh on Sunday. Lyles takes the ball tonight against the Dodgers, with first pitch slated for 7:10 PT. Los Angeles counters with lefty Alex Wood, a San Diego nemesis since his accusations of sign-stealing sparked a benches-clearing incident last June.
