After looking like a potential Cy Young Award candidate over his first six starts, Livan Hernandez has finally started to look beatable over his last three outings. Jon Garland, on the other hand, might be getting better as his first season with the San Diego Padres progresses. Garland tries to win a seventh consecutive decision Sunday afternoon as he and the first-place Padres play the decisive finale of a three-game set against Hernandez and the visiting Nationals.Hernandez and Garland rank fourth and fifth, respectively, in NL ERA, but while Hernandez seems like he might be slowing down just a bit, Garland has won six straight. Pitching on his third NL West team since the beginning of 2009, Garland is a big reason the Padres are in first place. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning Tuesday to make it through seven in a 1-0 win over St. Louis, the third time this month Garland has pitched seven scoreless innings.

Garland, 1-0 with a 4.85 ERA in two starts against the Nationals since 2008, has particularly enjoyed his first five outings inside spacious Petco Park with the Padres. He’s 3-0 with a 0.84 ERA. This current stretch, though, is still far from the best in Garland’s career. He won 10 straight starts with a 2.31 ERA from Sept. 26, 2004-May 17, 2005, with the Chicago White Sox. Hernandez, meanwhile, is 0-2 with a 4.67 ERA in his last three starts after beginning the season 4-1 with a 1.04 ERA. After four scoreless innings Tuesday at San Francisco, he came undone in the fifth, allowing five straight two-out hits and four runs en route to a 4-2 loss. While Garland is loving his new home stadium, Hernandez has never found Petco Park to be very inviting. He’s never won there in seven starts, and is 0-5 with a 7.20 ERA in his last five trips.
