The San Diego Padres are looking to win their series against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday as the final month of the regular season is finally here.The Padres took Monday's series opener in dominant 5-0 fashion, as Michael King fired six shutout innings and the offense had a 15-hit outburst.“Very important to be able to turn the page,” manager Craig Stammen said after Monday's game that followed an unlucky sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays. “We talked about turning the page. It’s harder to turn the page if we come out on the wrong end of the scoreboard. So when we get the right end of the scoreboard, everybody’s starting to feel better about it again. We can move on from that, and we can dictate what our future holds.”On Tuesday, the Padres are playing with two new reinforcements as rosters expanded from 26 to 28.Top prospect Ethan Salas and right-handed pitcher Jhony Brito were the Padres' September call-ups.Salas is not in the lineup on Tuesday night with a left-handed pitcher on the mound.Padres Starting LineupFernando Tatis Jr., 2BSamad Taylor, LFManny Machado, 3BTy France, 1BJackson Merrill, CFXander Bogaerts, SSAustin Hays, DHFreddy Fermin, CJase Bowen, RFPadres vs Reds Pitching Matchup on TuesdayRight-handed pitcher Randy Vásquez is taking the mound for the Padres coming off consecutive strong starts.On Aug. 21 against the Minnesota Twins, Vásquez allowed two runs over seven innings.
