Hernandez drives in 4, Cueto and Giants top Diamondbacks 8-4
Credit: The Associated PressPHOENIX — Gorkys Hernandez didn't know until he got to the ballpark that he'd be in the lineup.
Obviously he was ready, though.
With Denard Span out due to tightness in his hip, Hernandez took over in center field and the leadoff spot, driving in four runs to lead the San Francisco Giants past the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-4 on Tuesday night.
Hernandez singled home two runs in the second inning and doubled in two more in a five-run fifth.
"You have to be ready all the time," he said. "You never know what's going to happen, especially on the bench. You've got to be ready just in case when the boss says, 'You ready?' I'm ready."
