San Diego meanwhile has a record of 6-10 and is coming off a 4-1 win over Arizona Thursday.

 Wil Myers and Austin Hedges went deep, giving veteran left-hander Clayton Richard all the support he needed, as the Padres -- behind a four-strikeout seventh inning -- beat the D-backs, 4-1, on Thursday night.

Myers got San Diego on the board with a solo shot in the first, extending his hitting streak to a National League-leading 11 games, before Hedges tacked on an insurance run in the seventh. In between, Erick Aybar's two-run fifth-inning double put the Padres in front for good.

Will the Miami offense be able to backup Adam Conley's start and get back in the win column? Will San Diego carry the momentum over from their win over Arizona on Thursday to the opening game of a three-game series with Miami? 

First pitch is set for 10:10 pm. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Florida
