With the rookie lefty on the mound to try to clinch the NLDS, Terry Collins went with his best defensive lineup Tuesday night. Gold Glover Juan Lagares was back in center field, and Yoenis Cespedes moved to left against the Dodgers lefty ace Clayton Kershaw.
Collins basically went with the same lineup that erupted for 13 runs off lefthander Brett Anderson Monday night, only flipping catcher Travis d’Arnaud, who has suddenly caught the hot hand, and struggling Lucas Duda.
