MIAMI - Last night the Pirates had a comfortable lead late in a 12-2 blowout, which allowed them to give some of their starters a bit of rest. By the end of the game, the infield had an alignment with Josh Bell at first base, Phil Gosselin at second, Gift Ngoepe at shortstop, and Alen Hanson at third base. It wasn't too extreme. Bell was at his normal position, and the other three were infielders who had played those spots (with Gift also at his normal position).
The outfield, on the other hand, was a bit unusual. Gregory Polanco moved over to center field, with John Jaso in right and Jose Osuna in left.
