Solano started the Padres' first three postseason games, including two against righties, but Peralta has gotten the nod in the last three. He homered in Sunday's Game 2 and knocked in two more runs last night. The lineup: 1B Luis Arraez, RF Fernando Tatis jr., LF Jurickson Profar, 3B Manny Machado, CF Jackson Merrill, SS Xander Bogaerts, DH Peralta, 2B Jake Cronenworth, C Kyle Higashioka.
Fernando Tatis, Jake Cronenworth and more spoke with the "MLB on FOX" crew to discuss the San Diego Padres' Game 3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Padres are making one change to the starting lineup for Sunday's contest, as Peralta will get the start against Jack Jack Flaherty with Donovan Solano moving to the bench. That means Luis Arraez gets the start at first base. The full lineup for Sunday's affair: 1B Arraez, RF Fernando Tatis jr., LF David Peralta, 3B Manny Machado, CF Jackson Merrill, SS Xander Bogaerts, 2B Jake Cronenworth, DH Peralta and C Kyle Higashioka.
The Padres aren't making any changes to their regular lineup in the pivotal Game 1 matchup against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers. The full lineup behind Dylan Cease for the Padres: DH Luis Arraez, RF Tatis Jr., LF Jurickson Profar, 3B Manny Machado, CF Jackson Merrill, SS Xander Bogaerts, 2B Jake Cronenworth, 1B Donovan Solano and Kyle Higashioka hitting ninth and catching.
The one real lineup decision the Padres have to make comes against righties, when they choose between Donovan Solano and David Peralta for one spot. They opted for Solano against the righty in Game 1, and there was no doubt Solano would be in there versus the lefty today. The lineup: DH Luis Arraez, RF Fernando Tatis Jr., LF Jurickson Profar, 3B Manny Machado, CF Jackson Merrill, SS Xander Bogaerts, 1B Solano, 2B Jake Cronenworth, C Kyle Higashioka.
