Now left-hander Randy Wolf (1-1, 4.31 ERA) who has given up at least three runs in each of his last three starts, and allowed four or more in six of 10 career meetings with a with a 6.02 ERA all-time against San Diego will go tonight.The Dodgers will face San Diego's Chris Young (2-1, 5.74), who's coming off his worst career performance when the Padres lost 12-7 on Monday in Colorado as the right-hander was tagged for eight runs, seven hits and five walks in only three innings. He also allowed five stolen bases in his brief outing, and has given up 14 in five starts - six more than any other pitcher.
