Brayan Peña moves up to hit second and Joey Votto moves down to fourth. You have to give Bryan Price credit for trying new things. I think it’s safe to say this isn’t a lineup that Dusty Baker would have ever tried. A catcher batting second?
Here’s the batting order for your Cincinnati Reds tonight.
1. Skip Schumaker (L) CF
2. Brayan Pena (S) C
3. Brandon Phillips (R) 2B
