Seattle’s lineup for this afternoon’s matchup with the Indians has not yet been posted, so it is not certain as of yet what Eric Wedge’s batting order will be against Josh Tomlin, but the Indians have announced their lineup against the Mariners’ Erik Bedard.
Lou Marson will get the start at catcher and will bat ninth, while Carlos Santana will be the DH and bat fourth, giving Travis Hafner at least the beginning of the game off. The rest of the Indians’ batting order looks like this:
1. Michael Brantley (L) CF
2. Asdrubal Cabrera (S) SS
3. Shin-Soo Choo (L) RF
4. Carlos Santana (S) DH
5. Shelley Duncan® LF
6. Orlando Cabrera® 2B
7. Matt LaPorta® 1B
8. Jack Hannahan (L) 3B
9. Lou Marson® C
Game-time is at 4:10 p.m. for the conclusion of this three-game set, in which the Indians have won a laugher (12-3) and a nail-biter (2-1).
