Dee Gordon Batting Ninth In Home Opener
6 years agoAfter batting leadoff during the first two games of the major league season last week in Tokyo, Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon will bat ninth on Thursday as the Mariners host the Boston Red Sox. The 30-year-old recorded three hits in Tokyo last week, driving in a run and scoring two himself. Mariners manager Scott Servais stated his lineup wouldn't be set in stone, so it seems logical to expect frequent shifting of the batting order as we have here. He spent 99 games batting atop the lineup last season and 27 batting ninth.
