SF Giants Bob Melvin made a notable change to the lineup on Sunday. Jung Hoo Lee was back at the leadoff spot in what felt like an overdue adjustment.
SF Giants manager Bob Melvin makes much-needed lineup change on Sunday
The last time Lee had been in the leadoff spot was on July 27 in a 5-3 loss to the New York Mets at home. The Giants have lost a lot at home lately.
Heliot Ramos had been the club's primary leadoff hitter for the past six weeks, and the reasoning made sense. He had been one of the team's better hitters, so the goal was to maximize potential favorable outcomes.
