Interesting defensive shakeup.....McGowan 3B Pohl 1B Dingler CF. West was at SS and Foppe at 2B with Cherry at DH. It worked. 4-0 and clean in the field for only the 5th time this season. . Jake Vance with another solid midweek outing.

Also glad to see Cherry moved down to the 6 spot for the second straight game. Just can’t have a guy in the 3 hole who Ks about every 2.5 ABs.
