The Padres will look to take the rubber match of a three-game series in the Nation’s Capital on Thursday, after a 6-5 win on Wednesday night over the Nationals.

Padres

San Diego is on fire, winning 10 of its last 14 games. If they can pull off the win tonight, it would be the Padres fifth straight series victory.

Right-hander Andrew Cashner (5-12, 4.03 ERA) will look to even his record versus the Nats, as he takes the hill in the series finale on Thursday. He gave up four runs over six innings in a May 16 loss in San Diego.

Cashner is coming off his first win over a month, beating St. Louis his last time out. He has limited the long ball as of late, allowing three homers over his past 10 starts after giving up 13 in his first 14 outings.

Nationals

The Nats have won five of their last eight games and need ever win they can get if they want to catch the New York Mets in the National League East. They trail the Mets by 6 1/2 games in the division.

They are led offensively by right fielder Bryce Harper, who is 11-for-27 during a seven-game hitting streak, and Anthony Rendon, who is 6-for-13 with six RBIs over his past four games.

But it will be solid pitching if Washington wants to stop the Padres, and right-hander Joe Ross (4-5, 3.56 ERA) will need to be spot on.

Ross is coming off perhaps his best performance of his rookie campaign, and has strung together seven quality starts in his 10 outings.

He has been excellent at home, where he is 3-2 with a 2.27 ERA in five starts.
