With Ashby's heavy ground ball and strikeout profile, I would've thought that they might be able to get away with playing McCutchen in RF and allowing Hiura to DH. Oh well, maybe Cain will finally hit his first HR of the season, today. He has to at some point, right?
Also, I see that every Padre will be facing Ashby for the first time today. Given Ashby's unorthodox pitching style and overall nastiness, that should hopefully work in our favor, so long as he can find the plate.
