What is the story about?

Ha-Seong Kim is getting a third straight start at shortstop and batting ninth, as he continues to set a torridly awful pace for value and production this season. Drake Baldwin is catching and batting cleanup and the Braves really need him to find his swing again, as he has struggled since returning from injury. That last of the lineup is pretty bleak as Mauricio Dubon has been the best of those batters by a wide margin this season. Good luck against Logan Webb today.

I will update this post once the Giants publish a lineup.
