SAN DIEGO -- Zach Davies gets his first August start on Tuesday, and he would be pleased if it duplicates his July efforts.The Milwaukee Brewers right-hander faces San Diego, hoping his summer surge has life. Right-hander Luis Perdomo goes for the Padres at Petco Park.Davies (8-4, 3.59 ERA) was sensational in July, starting four games, winning three and showing the Brewers why they have such high hopes for him. He pitched to a 1.71 ERA in the month, posting a nifty 17-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio as he leaned on his pinpoint control.Hes a real pitcher, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. He has four pitches, and he lives out on the edge with them. He speeds up their bats and slows them down.Davies has impressed Counsell -- as well as the batters he has faced the past month.Hes got those four pitches, and he can manipulate all four of them, Counsell said.The Padres eventually hope to see similar results from Perdomo (5-4, 6.89 ERA). The 23-year-old had never pitched above Class A ball before this season. A Rule 5 draft pick out of the St. Louis Cardinals system last winter, he was expected to have a long role out of the bullpen.The Padres hoped to ease him into his role as a major league starter, but following a flurry of trades, Perdomo is being asked to accelerate his learning curve.After San Diego nearly wiped the rotation clean by trading away James Shields, Drew Pomeranz and Andrew Cashner -- and with Tyson Ross sidelined due to a shoulder injury since his Opening Day start -- Perdomos responsibilities blossomed.So, too, has his pitching.Perdomo has given up three earned runs or fewer in six of his past eight starts dating to June 15. Five outings in that span were quality starts. He won both of his past two starts, including a road victory over the Toronto Blue Jays last Wednesday, when he gave up four runs in 5 2/3 innings.In his prior start, Perdomo pitched a career-high seven innings and allowed just two runs on four hits in a road win against the Washington Nationals.Weve seen tremendous gains in Perdomo, Padres manager Andy Green said. When he made his major league debut (in) April, he was a Rule 5 draft pick who had never pitched above low Single-A. Now hes growing confidence that his pitches play in the major leagues. He can get outs with that very good sinker of his. Hes making steps. The next step is ... to locate his pitches with consistency.Its there, he just has to keep developing it. There are going to be peaks and valleys, but were seeing substantial strides forward.The Brewers hope the lineup that faces Perdomo will include left fielder Ryan Braun. He hasnt played since Wednesday due to tightness in his right side.Milwaukees catching situation is also worth watching in the wake of trading Jonathan Lucroy, a two-time All-Star, to the Texas Rangers. Martin Maldonado was in the lineup on Monday, going 1-for-3 in the Brewers 7-3 loss to the Padres, and he is expected to get his second consecutive start Tuesday.However, Counsell said Manny Pina, who was brought up from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday, also will see action going forward.

The dramas Stephen Kearney endured in his first incarnation as an NRL head coach have him well positioned to excel at the rugby league enigma that is the Warriors.That is the opinion of Parramatta skipper Tim Mannah, who believes Kearney is the man to turn the Warriors fortunes around.Kearney won just 10 of 42 games in 2011 and 2012 in his first head coaching gig in the NRL with the Eels before standing down late in his second season.Since then he has built New Zealand into the best rugby league side in the world as coach.He has also been credited with developing Brisbanes reputations as one of the best defensive outfits in the NRL while working under Wayne Bennett.I think he will really excel with the Warriors, Mannah told AAP.Steve is a great person. I have seen him grow a lot over the last few years. What he has done with the Kiwis is pretty special and working under Wayne he will have learnt a lot of thingsHe has become a lot more balanced over there and Im sure he will succeed.Mannah said it was the familiar tale of turmoil at the Eels that consumed Kearnney when he was at Parramatta, not the fact he wasnt ready for the role.ddddddddddddI dont know if he came in too early, he was ready for it, I think the club situation at the time, pretty similar to a lot of coaches that came around that time, there was a lot of turmoil there wasnt much stability and that didnt help him, said Mannah, who remains in regular contact with Kearney.If it was another time it might have been a different story, I dont think he was rushed into it, I think he was ready and I think he is ready nowHe is very personable, he is easy to talk to and relate to.I always thought he would get another gig somewhere else, it was just going to be a matter of time.Kearney has spent the last two seasons at Red Hill as an assistant under Bennett. That would allow him to hit the ground running in Auckland, Mannah said.The success that Brisbane have had over the last couple of years, Steve has had a big part in that, he said. ' ' '
