The only time the San Diego Padres flexed some offensive muscle during a dreadful eight-game stretch was squandered by Ian Kennedy's worst outing in nearly two years. Looking to redeem himself and put the Padres back on track after a string of poor showings, Kennedy will take the hill Friday against a Colorado Rockies team that pushed San Diego into its losing ways. The Padres (11-12) have dropped seven of their last eight games, scoring more than four runs only once in that span with an 11-8 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. Kennedy (0-1, 10.80 ERA) allowed eight earned runs over 4 1-3 innings in his least effective start since surrendering 10 runs on June 6, 2013.
