San Diego Padres starting pitcher Pedro Avila fanned seven White Sox batters in over five shutout innings to win 2-1 on Sunday. Despite the Padres being out of the postseason race, Avila gave up only three hits in the game, all base hits. He also didn't surrender a walk in the contest. The 26-year-old, in this year's campaign, posted a record of 2-2 with a 3.22 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP in 50 1/3 innings of work.

San Diego Padres right-hander Pedro Avila is getting another start on Thursday against the visiting San Francisco Giants. In his second start of the season and third of his career last weekend against the Milwaukee Brewers, Avila wasn't so hot, giving up five earned runs and two walks in 4 1/3 innings pitched before left-hander Rich Hill took over. However, the Friars don't really have many options, so the 26-year-old will get another chance at home in a more favorable matchup. Overall this year, Avila has been strong out of the bullpen for San Diego, posting a nice 2.63 ERA (2.94 FIP), 1.24 WHIP, 11 walks and 32 strikeouts in 27 1/3 innings over his eight appearances (two starts). In fantasy, he won't be a recommended streamer and is unlikely to go long enough to get credited with a win.
