SAN FRANCISCO -- Wednesday was something of a makeshift lineup for the Giants with Evan Longoria and Brandon Crawford sitting on the bench, but when San Francisco hosts the Dodgers for the final series of the season, manager Bruce Bochy says it will be all hands on deck.
Longoria got the day off after sustaining a knee injury Tuesday. And Crawford got a rest because Tuesday's game went 12 innings. Bochy sat Crawford in order to give Abiatal Avelino his third big league start, his second at shortstop.
The Giants have a chance to deny the 88-win (into Wednesday) Dodgers the National League West title.
