NEW YORK -- Bruce Bochy said he tried to stay out of the way against the Dodgers on Saturday and Sunday because his team was finally finding the right gear. Bochy isn’t messing with that success for the National League Wild Card Game. Wednesday’s lineup is a familiar one:
Denard Span CF
Brandon Belt 1B
Buster Posey C
Hunter Pence RF
Brandon Crawford SS
Angel Pagan LF
Joe Panik 2B
Conor Gillaspie 3B
Madison Bumgarner LHP

Span and Belt are both 0-for-6 against Syndergaard, although Belt — the team leader in walks — has drawn three free passes.
