7 Oct
Summary
- Brice Turang bats cleanup for the first time in two career appearances.
- Turang struggled in Games 1 and 2 but was red-hot to end the regular season.
- Ortiz returns to the lineup despite facing a right-handed pitcher.
The Milwaukee Brewers are set to play Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres, aiming for a sweep. A notable change in their lineup features second baseman Brice Turang batting fourth, a position he has occupied only twice before in his career. This strategic move places him in a critical spot to drive in runs.
Turang's recent performance in the series has been challenging, with no hits in Games 1 and 2. However, he finished the regular season strongly, boasting an impressive .377 batting average from September 11 to September 27. The lineup also sees the return of Ortiz, who provides valuable offense and defense, despite facing a right-handed pitcher.
