(Sports Network) - Chad Billingsley tries to win his 10th game of the season this afternoon when the Los Angeles Dodgers play the rubber match of their three-game series with the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.

Billingsley, though, is winless in his last three starts and was charged with the loss on Tuesday against Colorado, which managed three runs and five hits off of him in 7 2/3 innings. Despite matching a season-high with 11 strikeouts, Billingsley was on the wrong end of the 3-0 decision, dropping him to 9-4 to go along with a 3.12 earned run average.

The 24-year-old right-hander has beaten the Padres three times already this season and is 8-3 lifetime against them with a 2.62 ERA in 16 games, 12 of which have been starts.

San Diego will counter with Josh Banks, who will be making his second start of the season. Banks, filling in for the injured Wade LeBlanc, picked up his first win of the season on Tuesday against Houston, as he held the Astros to three runs and five hits in seven innings.

Banks has never faced the Dodgers.

Los Angeles got a home run from Manny Ramirez on Saturday, but San Diego scored six times over the seventh and eighth innings to pull out a 7-4 win.

Everth Cabrera, David Eckstein and Adrian Gonzalez -- the Padres' top three hitters -- combined to go 6-for-14 with six runs batted in, helping San Diego snap a three-game losing streak.

Padres starter Josh Geer allowed two runs over 6 1/3 innings, while Greg Burke (1-0) took the win after getting the final two outs of the seventh.

Ramirez, who returned from his 50-game suspension Friday, belted the 534th home run of his career, tying him with Jimmie Foxx for 16th on the career list, but it wasn't enough to help the Dodgers win for the third consecutive game.

"I think this is his comfort zone, in that batter's box, in the ballpark, in the clubhouse," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said of Ramirez. "I think it's going to take a little time to get the rust off and get used to what he is doing."

After LA starter Randy Wolf gave up one run in six innings, in which he struck out eight, Ronald Belisario (1-3) gave up three runs in the seventh while recording one out. Ramon Troncoso allowed three more runs -- all unearned -- after replacing Belisario.

The Dodgers have won eight of 12 matchups with the Padres this season and 12 of the last 17 contests between the clubs.
