The Los Angeles Dodgers look for their third straight victory Saturday night, facing the San Diego Padres at Petco Park in San Diego. Chris Capuano makes his first start for the Dodgers, while Dustin Moseley toes the rubber for San Diego.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly is giving both Juan Rivera and Juan Uribe a scheduled day off on Saturday night, both right-handed batters facing the righty Moseley. Clayton Richard, a left-hander, starts for San Diego on Sunday.
