CINCINNATI (Interstat) — The San Diego Padres will look for a second straight win Tuesday when they continue a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. San Diego won Monday’s opener 5-0 behind Michael King, who allowed four hits over six scoreless innings and struck out six. King has been sharp lately, giving up two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. The Padres (73-65) have won three of four meetings with Cincinnati this season. Right-hander Randy Vásquez (10-6) is scheduled to start Tuesday for San Diego. The Reds will counter with left-hander Nick Lodolo (3-3). The forecast calls for 90-degree heat with cloudy skies. Cincinnati (65-76) will try to bounce back after being shut out Monday. The Reds’ Julian Garcia worked 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief Monday, allowing no hits and striking out three. Garcia has been scoreless in five of his last seven appearances. The Padres have been installed as a minus-1.5 run-line favorite, according to Interstat, with an over/under of 9.5 runs. Interstat’s ELO system gives San Diego a 57 percent chance to win, while its game simulator projects Cincinnati for a 5-3 win. San Diego is coming off a rough stretch on the road, losing three straight at Tampa Bay before regrouping in Monday’s series opener. Cincinnati has split its last two games after a high-scoring series at Chicago. The teams wrap up the three-game set Wednesday before San Diego returns home to host the New York Yankees, and Cincinnati hosts the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday.
