Gillaspie came off the bench in a big way Sunday, hitting a three-run homer in the eventual 5-3 loss to San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie entered the seventh inning with Padres' starter Edwin Jackson throwing a no-hitter. Jackson's pitch count was up and had trouble locating the ball which caused him to groove a 3-1 fastball down the middle of the plate which Gillaspie crushed into the right field bleachers. Despite not starting Sunday, he should be back in the lineup Tuesday when the Giants take on Boston right-hander Rick Porcello.
