The Padres' Paddack has shown he is worthy of his moment in the spotlight against the Dodgers' Kershaw with a 1.55 ERA over his first seven career starts. The rookie is 3-1 while the Padres are 6-1 in his outings. And he will come into his first career start against the Dodgers after a season-best 7 2/3 innings against the New York Mets on May 6 where he did not give up a run, passed the 90-pitch mark for the first time and struck out a career-best 11.
