SAN DIEGO - The rookie it is.
Manager Bruce Bochy said that Ty Blach would start in place of injured Johnny Cueto against the Padres on Sunday unless he were needed in relief Saturday night. Blach got the nod over Matt Cain and Jake Peavy, who started the year in the rotation.
"I'd say this in fairness to Jake and Matt," Bochy said. "Blach got more starts and consistent innings in Triple-A, every fifth day. Those guys are getting work here and there. We think Blach is more suited to make a start.
