This is far from a must-win game for the Giants, but evening the series rather than being outclassed by a very good team sure would be big.

Notes
Cueto watch: Johnny Cueto has had an up-and-down season, and is making his second start against the Padres. The first one didn’t go well: 3.2 innings, 4 hits, 3 walks, 4 earned runs, and 4 strikeouts.
Slater available, but not in the field: Austin Slater is available to play, but only as a DH:
Still working on is throwing. Still only a DH candidate. But then who do you remove right now? Solano? Flores? https://t.co/kZgGHe7lAr
