Nothing seems to come easy with these San Francisco Giants, be it from injury, torture, or stark competition. They already suffered two walk-off losses to the Atlanta Braves during this four game series, and almost lost another on Wednesday, but will look for the series split behind Tim Lincecum tonight.
Aaron Rowand will get the start in center field tonight, moving Cody Ross over to left. Miguel Tejada will be at shortstop, Orlando Cabrera will play second, while Chris Stewart will be the backstop for Timmy this evening. Brandon Belt is out of the lineup.
