his start against the visiting New York Yankees as the teams open a three-game
interleague series Friday night.Rea (4-3, 5.05 ERA) has won once in his last
eight starts, but that victory came in his most recent outing when beating the
Reds after allowing four runs (three earned) in five innings.Right-hander Nathan
Eovaldi (6-5, 5.19) goes for the Yankees, who are coming off of two straight
walk-off victories over the Texas Rangers. Eovaldi has struggled of late,
allowing at least five runs in four of his past five starts. Hell be looking to
snap a three-game losing streak and that includes falling to the Twins on
Sunday, when was charged with five runs over six innings.Rea is required to
shine for a couple reasons. His opportunities could be dwindling in the second
half as the Padres get healthy and they aim to keep Rea fit, too.The thought
process would be to push him to the back of the rotation coming off the All-Star
break so he gets a longer period of time off, Padres manager Andy Green said.
Just to control his innings.If the Padres can tap the brakes on Rea, they said
it will serve him better in the long run. The most innings hes collected in a
season is 139 and he did that in Class-A ball in 2014.Also, the Padres rotation
could get crowded, making Reas showing against the Yankees -- and in one more
start before the All-Star Game -- critical.Right-hander Andrew Cashner is set to
come off the disabled list because of a strained neck and could start in Sundays
series finale against the Yankees.Tyson Ross, another right-hander and the teams
opening day starter, is gaining ground on his sore throwing shoulder. He hasnt
pitched since his first start but it appears he could rejoin the rotation soon
after the All-Star Game.So that puts pressure on Rea, 25, to shine while he has
the chance.Its all about command with him, Green said. Hes got the stuff to
compete, but sometimes he picks at the corners and falls behind hitters.Thats
what happened in Reas latest start in Cincinnati. His biggest downfall was
matching a career high with four walks. But like Green said, Rea has stuff. His
seven strikeouts against the Reds were a career-best.Among Reas biggest
challenges Friday will be containing Yankees outfielder Carlos Beltran -- if he
plays with his sore right hamstring.Its probably easier to manage if he was
DHing but were going to San Diego, Yankees skipper Joe Girardi told mlb.com. So
that is a concern.San Diegos Wil Myers, who earned his stripes in the American
League, has hit .304 in 102 at-bats against the Yankees. The first baseman
continues his push for an All-Star roster spot with a sizzling June.He had 21
extra-base hits in June, tying the franchise mark for most in a month. Myers 33
RBI are the tops for any Padre in June.A rejuvenated Padres offense has scored
at least five runs in seven straight home games, the first time thats ever been
done by the local nine at Petco Park.

didnt like being in that kind of hole and nearly digging themselves out only to
lose. Sydney coach John Longmire views Fridays crucial clash with Geelong as a
great opportunity for his AFL club and a rallying call behind milestone man and
embattled co-captain Kieren Jack.Both sides will be striving to avoid
back-to-back losses, which would represent a severe setback with the top half of
the ladder being so congested.Midfielder Jack will play his 200th game on
Friday, though that milestone has been somewhat overshadowed by a family
feud.Longmire said Jack was fine and would be focused on the game.Theres no
point getting that milestone if you dont celebrate it the right way and play a
good strong brand of footy, Longmire said on Thursday.Thats what it gets down to
and thats what Im sure the players will be looking forward to.Taking on Geelong
at Geelong for Kierens 200th is a great opportunity for us.Longmire tasted
victory at Geelong in his first year as the Swans senior coach back in 2011 when
Sydney ended the Cats 29-game winning streak at their fortress.But Sydneys last
three visits have all resulted in losses of more than 30 points.Geelong have won
their last eight matches at Simonds Stadium.Geelong in Geelong is a great
challenge, most teams find it very difficult andd we look forward to that
challenge, Longmire said.dddddddddddd.Weve had a victory down there before (in
2011) and it was a special one.But we do know that there needs to be a lot of
work put in place before we get ourselves in that position.The Cats will be
coming off the bye following a shock loss to St Kilda, but have won six out of
seven matches against top-eight sides.Sydney are looking to rebound from a
narrow loss to the Western Bulldogs and have successive six-day turnarounds
heading into tough assignments at Geelong and at home against Hawthorn.The
opportunity to come off a short break this week is probably a good thing, we
know we go into another one next week, Longmire said.But theres no better test
than playing the best teams and were looking forward to that test particularly
on their home ground.Longmire regards the Cats as much more than a Joel
Selwood-Patrick Dangerfield inspired machine.Theyve got a very good ruck
combination and they are good marking the ball really well inside their forward
50 and have an experienced backline, Longmire said. ' ' '
