Fernando Tatis Jr. is back in the lineup for the three-game series against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. Despite playing five consecutive games at Coors Field and Mexico City, he hasn't hit a home run yet. His 10 home runs from Oracle Park are his second most on the road, behind Dodger Stadium. Tatis is also a strong hitter in 41 games played in San Francisco. The Padres have won all six of their starts so far. This is Tatis' first career appearance against the Giants.
