Before yesterday’s postponement, Dusty Baker kept the Washington Nationals lineup mostly the same from what it was in Game 1 of the NLDS. The only change Baker made was that he had Jose Lobaton behind the plate instead of rookie Pedro Severino. However, there has been one change in the lineup that has stood out.
In Game 1,Bryce Harper hit second in the batting order for the Washington Nationals against Clayton Kershaw. Before yesterday, Harper hit second only five times during the regular season.
