It's just not the one we were bracing for earlier.
Javy Lopez was a late scratch because of back spasms. Jay Gibbons becomes the designated hitter, and Nick Markakis gets the start in right field and bats ninth.
Here's your new lineup:
Brian Roberts - 2B
Melvin Mora - 3B
Miguel Tejada - SS
Jay Gibbons - DH
Ramon Hernandez - C
Kevin Millar - 1B
Corey Patterson - CF
Jeff Conine - LF
Nick Markakis - RF
Is it unusual to have your three outfielders batting in the last three spots in the order?
Here's Seattle's lineup, if you're interested:
Ichiro Suzuki - RF
Willie Bloomquist - CF
Raul Ibanez - LF
Richie Sexson - 1B
Carl Everett - DH
Adrian Beltre - 3B
Kenji Johjima - C
Jose Lopez - 2B
Yuniesky Betancourt - SS
And pitching: Felix Hernandez
Originally, manager Sam Perlozzo wasn't going to start Markakis because he wanted to protect the rookie against a tough pitcher like Hernandez. But you have to wonder if Markakis would have started tomorrow against left-hander Jamie Moyer. I like having him in the lineup today.
