The last game that doesn't count in the standings! But it's the rubber game of a series against the A's cross-bay rivals, so we need to care or at least pretend to.

Today's lineups:

1. Angel Pagan (S) CF

2. Marco Scutaro (R) 2B

3. Hunter Pence (R) RF

4. Buster Posey (R) DH

5. Brandon Belt (L) 1B
