Kyle Schwarber To Bat Leadoff In Game 2
3 years agoBoston Red Sox first baseman/outfielder Kyle Schwarber will bat leadoff in Game 2 of the ALDS against Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. Enrique Hernandez will hit second in the game. There's still no decision as to whether J.D. Martinez (ankle) will be in the starting lineup for the game so the team's official lineup has yet to be released. Schwarber has never faced the left-handed McClanahan and he has always struggled against lefties. This year, he posted a .788 OPS against lefties while having a far superior .990 against righties.
