That was made possible, in part, because Tommy Edman is out of the lineup with Matt Carpenter playing third base and Harrison Bader remaining in center field.
“I’m trying not to think about that kind of stuff,” Wong said. “Obviously it’s cool to hit at the top of the lineup, get more (at-bats), get into more situations where I can help the team win. When you’re at the bottom, you’re in situations where you’re just trying to get on base and hopefully something happens. But hitting second is going to be fun because I’m in the thick of things.
