San Diego Padres second baseman Jose Pirela will start on Sunday night against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Pirela didn't start in Game 1 of the doubleheader this morning, though he came in as a pinch hitter, going 0-for-1. Carlos Asuaje will head back to the bench.
Pirela is hitting .281 on the road compared to .240 at home this year.
