San Diego Padres (54-86) At Milwaukee Brewers (80-60), 8:05 P.m.

(Sports Network) - Southpaw CC Sabathia can continue a masterful streak in the National League when the Milwaukee Brewers host the San Diego Padres tonight in game two of a four-game series from Miller Park.

The 6-foot-7, 290-pound Sabathia is 9-0 in 11 starts with the Brewers since coming over in a trade shortly before the All-Star break. He was 6-8 with a 3.83 earned run average in 18 starts for the Cleveland Indians before the deal.

Sabathia has pitched six complete games with the Brewers, including a controversial one-hitter on Sunday in Pittsburgh, where the only blemish was a check-swing roller to the left side that Sabathia failed to field cleanly.

He walked three batters and struck out 11 in that game, reaching double-digit strikeouts for the seventh time this season and second time with the Brewers.

Sabathia is perfect in three career starts against San Diego, winning all three while allowing 25 hits and six runs in 22 2/3 innings.

Young right-hander Josh Geer makes his second career start for the Padres tonight.

A third-round draft pick in 2005, Geer debuted on Saturday against Colorado and earned a victory after allowing five hits and two runs in five innings of a 9-4 triumph. The Rice University product walked three batters and struck out five.

He threw 105 pitches in reaching the minimum five innings needed to record the win.

In Thursday's series opener, Shawn Estes' impressive return to the mound was backed by a pair of RBI from Nick Hundley and Luis Rodriguez as the Padres topped the Brewers, 5-2.

Estes (2-1), sidelined since May 28 with a fractured left thumb, scattered seven hits, a walk and a run in his six-inning start for the Padres, who snapped a nine-game road losing streak and an overall skid of three straight.

Adrian Gonzalez doubled, worked two walks and scored a pair of runs for San Diego, while Will Venable hit his first career home run for the victors.

Jeff Suppan (10-8) took the loss in Milwaukee's fourth straight setback, allowing five runs -- four earned -- on seven hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings.

Every Brewers starter had one hit, with J.J. Hardy tallying a solo home run.

Milwaukee won twice in three tries against the Padres last month and is 4-2 over the last six meetings between these clubs.
