Also, TGJr is leading off for the Phillies tonight.

Tony Gwynn Jr. will lead-off for the @Phillies tonight at Petco Park. Welcome home. Your dad will be leading the cheers from on high.

Seth Smith was scratched with a hamstring tweak, according to Bill Center. He also won't start tomorrow, but could be back Thursday. Hopefully that's the case.

GO FRIARS!! KEEP THE FAITH!!
