Kinsler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Giants.
Kinsler's 408-foot blast to center field off Tony Watson in the eighth inning brought the Padres to within a run, but they were ultimately stifled in the comeback attempt. Though he is still hitting only .209 on the season, Kinsler has picked it up of late, batting .344 (11-for-32) over his last 10 games. It may not be enough to fend of top prospect Luis Urias, who appears primed to return to the majors before the end of the month.
