Hairston gets first Brewers start
With a left-hander (Jamie Garcia) on the mound for St. Louis tonight, the recently-acquired Jerry Hairston Jr. gets his first Brewers start in Game 2 of this three-game set. Hairston could also see action at second base, third base and even shortstop over the next two months, but he’ll probably see the most action in center field, filling the role previous held by Carlos Gomez.
Here’s the full lineup:
Corey Hart RF
Jerry Hairston Jr. CF
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Casey McGehee 3B
Yuniesky Betancourt SS
Jonathan Lucroy C
Josh Wilson 2B
Shaun Marcum RHP

Okay, I like Hairston, but why not have Nyjer in there tonight?
