Brad Ausmus had wanted to get Cameron Maybin a day off at some point this series. He played in 23 of 24 games, albeit with an All-Star break mixed in, and every game since the break. Andrew Romine gets the start in center. Meanwhile, James McCann makes his first start of the series, getting behind the plate for Anibal Sanchez with lefty Jose Quintana on the mound.
