Bautista draws 1st start at 3B since 2013

Jose Bautista will be starting at third base for the first time since 2013 when the Blue Jays open their Interleague series against the Brewers at Miller Park on Tuesday night.

Bautista has played third base in a pair of games this season, most recently moving from right field to third for the last two innings of Saturday's game against the Orioles. The first time, like Tuesday will be, was an Interleague game in a National League park -- Bautista played third after pinch-hitting in the seventh inning on April 27 in St. Louis.

But the last time the 36-year-old started at the hot corner was on April 14, 2013, against the Royals, the last of three appearances he made at third base that season.
