On a four game losing streak, the Cleveland Indians are in need of some spark as they head into game three of their series against the New York Yankees. Compared to the line up for game two, the Indians made a couple of swaps as they attempt to get a win out of Yankee Stadium. Two of the biggest were the removal of Johnny Damon and Shin-Soo Choo out of the batting order.
New York kept their line up mostly the same as they had it the first two games, sticking with what's worked so far through two games, though Derek Jeter did not make the starting nine this time around.
Here's the line ups for Wednesday's series finale between the Tribe and the Yankees:
June 27 #Indians lineup: Brantley CF Cabrera SS Kipnis 2B Lopez 3B Santana DH Duncan LF Kotchman 1B Marson CA Cunningham RF Jimenez P
