SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- Mike Thompson and the San Diego Padres
look to rebound in the second game of their three-game set
against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday.

Thompson (1-0, 5.40 ERA) pitched five innings, surrendering four
runs - three earned - and seven hits in his major league debut
last Wednesday. San Diego hopes the 25-year-old righthander
can stay in the rotation until Shawn Estes returns from injury.

Mike Piazza drove in the lone run for San Diego in Monday's
3-1 loss.

Atlanta will counter with Jorge Sosa (1-5, 5.55), who tossed a
season-best 6 2/3 frames to recorded his first win of the
season. The righthander allowed one run and six hits while
striking out eight in a 9-1 triumph against Florida on Thursday.

Sosa is 1-0 when facing San Diego, giving up two hits in
three-plus innings for the Braves, who are four games behind the
New York Mets in the National League East.

Ryan Langerhans hit a two-run homer and All-Star Chipper Jones
belted a solo shot in Monday's win.
