Braun back; Patterson, Gerut, too
Ryan Braun returns to his spot in left field after sitting out Monday’s game against Chris Carpenter, and he’ll play alongside the same center/right field combo that battled the Cardinals ace. Corey Patterson makes a second straight start in center field for the injured Mike Cameron, and Jody Gerut is back out there in right despite the fact that Corey Hart was activated off the disabled list this morning.
Here’s the lineup:
Corey Patterson CF
Craig Counsell 2B
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Casey McGehee 3B
Jody Gerut RF
J.J. Hardy SSJason Kendall C Mike Rivera C (Sorry, I swear the original lineup had Kendall, but I’m told it was Rivera all the way)
Manny Parra LHP
