Lineup Card: Game 2 @ Kansas City

Rockies Lineup

• CF Fowler   (Finally!)
• DH Giambi
• 1B Helton
• SS Tulowitzki
• RF Hawpe
• LF Smith
• C  Olivo
• 3B Stewart
• 2B Barmes

Jeff Francis on the mound.

Much needed day off for Carlos Gonzalez.  And it's great to see Fowler back at the top of the order.  

Royals Lineup

• LF Podsednik
• 2B Aviles
• RF DeJesus
• 1B Butler
• DH Guillen
• 3B Callaspo
• SS Betancourt
• CF Bloomquist
• C   Kendall

Former Atlanta Brave Kyle Davies on the mound.  

Essentially the same lineup for Ned Yost even against a left-hander.  Willie Bloomquist starts for Mitch Maier in CF and that's the only change.  

Also, hopefully the Rockies are now aware the DeJesus can throw a little bit on there in RF.  You can take advantage of Podsednik and Bloomquist all day... but leave well enough alone with DeJesus.
