Billingsley, though, is winless in his last three starts and was charged with the loss on Tuesday against Colorado, which managed three runs and five hits off of him in 7 2/3 innings. Despite matching a season-high with 11 strikeouts, Billingsley was on the wrong end of the 3-0 decision, dropping him to 9-4 to go along with a 3.12 earned run average.
The 24-year-old right-hander has beaten the Padres three times already this season and is 8-3 lifetime against them with a 2.62 ERA in 16 games, 12 of which have been starts.
