Manuel Margot Back Hitting Leadoff
7 years agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot is back hitting leadoff Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies. Apparently three games hitting eighth and ninth was enough time for Margot in the dog house. The struggling Margot went 1-for-3 Monday night with a steal and RBI. He's still hitting just .150 on the season but does have two straight games with a stolen base. Other lineup changes of note are the return of third baseman Christian Villanueva, who will bat fifth. Villanueva (three home runs, .976 OPS) has significantly outplayed counterpart Chase Headley, who has started the season in a 1-for-19 funk (.053 average).
