Game Thread: 08/28 Padres @ Phillies

Matt Kemp is out of the lineup for the second consecutive game; he's still day-to-day with a sore left shoulder. In his place in right field will be rookie Travis Jankowski yet again; instead of leading off as he did yesterday, Jankowski will be batting ninth with pitcher Ian Kennedy in the eighth spot. The on-again, off-again experiment of Jedd Gyorko at shortstop is back on; he'll be just the fourth shortstop to bat cleanup in the franchise's 37-year history.
