Craig Counsell pulled a switcheroo in Game 5, bringing in Woodruff for Game 5 after Miley pitched to one batter.

Craig Counsell is pulling out all of the stops to finish up this series against the Dodgers.

When Wade Miley was announced as the starter on Wednesday, no one doubted that he would pitch a few innings. However, Craig Counsell had his own plans. After Miley faced Cody Bellinger and walked him, Craig Counsell pulled him from the game and brought in Brandon Woodruff. It caught about everyone off guard, and allowed Woodruff to face a lineup of right-handed hitters that were meant to face a left-handed pitcher.
