Or is it game 27 if you count the exhibition games against the Japanese teams? I don't know. All I know is that it's strange to have two regular season games and then come back and play a few more meaningless games in which we're going to pray that none of our players get injured.
Greg Smith starts for the A's and Tim Lincecum starts for the Giants.
The lineups look like this:
Buck
Gonzalez
Ellis
Cust
Crosby
Barton
Murphy
Bowen
Smith
The Giants go with this lineup:
Davis
