Davey Martinez’s initial lineup for the series opener in LA had Victor Robles batting ninth with Cèsar Hernàndez leading off against the Dodgers, but 50 minutes or so after the first batting order was released, the club sent out an updated lineup with Robles leading off for the second time this season.
In his previous 15 games before last night, Robles was on a nice run (.268/.318/.415 in 45 plate appearances), and sometime between the first and the second lineup Martinez decided to mix things up, moving his center fielder to the top of the lineup with Hernàndez at No.
