Platoon be damned, Giants put Alex Dickerson in the lineup after historic night

The Giants are serious about their platoon baseball, but no so much manager Gabe Kapler would set aside common sense.

That was the case Wednesday when left-handed hitting Alex Dickerson was in the starting lineup against Colorado left-hander Kyle Freeland.

Dickerson put himself alongside s. . .

Newly acquired Daniel Robertson was in the lineup at shortstop in place of Crawford, with Wilmer Flores playing at first base in place of Belt. Kapler said both Brandons would be available for pinch-hitting duty.
