With Fernando Tatis Jr. missing time with a hamstring injury, the San Diego Padres decided to leave Manny Machado at 3B (and Ty France on the bench), opting instead to go with Greg Garcia at SS and Ian Kinsler at 2B.
Kinsler finished the game 0-3 (he’s now hitting .134) and Greg Garcia....well....
The Padres finished the game with Garcia at 2B, Manny at SS, and France at 3B. Manny showed why that’s probably the best alignment:
We’ll see what they go with in tomorrow’s game.
