Share

After getting Friday night off, catcher Buster Posey is back behind the plate for the Giants on Saturday in Arizona.

Posey will catch starting pitcher Tyler Beede, who picked up his first major league victory in his last outing. In seven appearances this season, Beede is 1-2 with a 6.67 ERA.

Alex Dickerson remains in the lineup after his historic Giants debut. Once again, he's playing left field and batting seventh behind center fielder Kevin Pillar.

In his first game in the majors in nearly three years, Dickerson hit a grand slam and drove in six runs to power the Giants to an 11-5 victory in the series opener.

Arizona will counter Beede with right-hander Zack Godley, who has a 6.52 ERA and 46 strikeouts in 59 1/3 innings this season.
