Pablo Sandoval has hit a pinch-hit home run in each of the Giants' last two games, both victories.
He won't get a chance to make it three straight, but for a good reason: He's in the starting lineup Monday night.
After becoming the first player in franchise history to hit pinch-hit home runs in consecutive games since Armando Rios in 1998, Sandoval will bat fifth Monday night when the Giants open up a four-game series with the Braves at Oracle Park.
Left-hander Andrew Suarez will make his first big-league start of the season for San Francisco after being called up from Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the day.
