Padres Lineup Shift Targets Lefties | San Diego Padres News

Padres shake up the lineup for today’s game against the Giants, inserting rookie Dustin Harris at second base to battle left-handed pitching—his hot start (.350 in 13 games) and recent two-for-three performance with a triple and two RBIs make him the perfect fit. With Luis Rengifo out and Ty France on paternity leave, Jake Cronenworth moves to first, Tatis Jr. to second, Harris to right field, Austin Hays as DH, and Samad Taylor in left batting ninth. Campusano catches and bats cleanup. On the mound, Michael King (six straight quality starts, scoreless streak) faces Giants’ lefty Cesar Perdomo (just one run allowed in 10 innings). The Padres aim to extend their five-game win streak and hold onto the NL’s third wild-card spot by a half-game. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
