"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SAN DIEGO -- Johnny Cueto returns to Petco Park for the second time in six days on Sunday. The San Francisco Giants are hoping he sticks around longer this time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Giants and San Diego Padres wrap up their three-game series with Cueto, the National League starter in Tuesday's All-Star Game, going for San Francisco. After losing nine straight to the Giants, the Padres have won the past two and go for their first three-game sweep of the season on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cueto (13-1, 2.47 ERA) secured but five outs against the American League as the junior circuit prevailed 4-2 and Cueto took the loss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cueto, a right-hander, wasn't feeling good on Tuesday, when surrendering home runs to former teammates Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Giants manager Bruce Bochy chuckled when asked if the Padres would be tempted to load the lineup with former Royals on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Bochy conceded that Cueto isn't 100 percent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"He is still under the weather,\" Bochy said. \"That virus got him pretty good. That's a tough deal when you wake up and you don't feel good the day you are starting an All-Star Game.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But little else has slowed Cueto in his first year into a six-year, free-agent deal signed in the offseason. With Madison Bumganer and Cueto leading the Giants' staff, it's easy to see why San Francisco has the most wins in baseball.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Padres are at the other end of the baseball world. And the pitcher they send to the mound is on the opposite of Cueto as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Veteran Edwin Jackson will be summoned from Triple-A El Paso to make his first start since he was with the Chicago Cubs in 2014.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 14-year veteran will make his debut with his 11th major league team after pitching for the Miami Marlins and San Diego minor-league teams this year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"He can kind of stabilize us right now,\" manager Andy Green said. \"He can give a lot of experience to what is a young staff right now.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Drew Pomeranz was the second starter peddled by general manager A.J. Preller, following right-hander James Shields out the door. Pomeranz being moved opened the door for Jackson to prove he can still retire major league hitters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Edwin is stretched out and ready,\" Green said. \"He has the opportunity to stay in the rotation. Obviously, it is predicated on how you throw the baseball.:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It wasn't coming out of Jackson's hand to well in El Paso. In three starts, he allowed 10 runs in 12 2/3 innings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"If he comes and throws the ball well, we are not interested in rushing him out or flipping him somewhere else,\" Green said. \"We have every hope that he is a stabilizing force in the rotation.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bochy pushed back Cueto in the rotation after he threw 32 pitches in the Midsummer Classic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now he's anxious to see Cueto pitch after saying \"it was pretty cool\" to see him go for the National League on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Starting an All-Star Game,\" Bochy said, \"now that is quite a feat.\"&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
