It could happen tonight with Jhonny Cueto on the mound and Tyler Heineman – called back up to take over for the injured Chadwick Tromp – behind the plate. I am glad it won’t be the rook. It isn’t fair to Joey and a veteran presence is the right tool for the job.

But it won’t be easy as the Padres are starting righty Zach Davies who is 7 – 4 with a 2.85 ERA and 60 strikeouts. In response here’s Kapler’s lineup:

Mike Yastrzemski (RF)

Alex Dickerson (LF)

Donovan Solano (2B)

Brandon Belt (1B)

Wilmer Flores (DH)

Evan Longoria (3B)

Brandon Crawford (SS)

Mauricio Dubon (CF)

Tyler Heineman (C)

Let’s Go Giants! Beat the Padres! Fry the Friars!

Make the playoffs so we can #BeatLA
