1. Kevin Newman (R) SS

2. Bryan Reynolds (S) LF

3. Starling Marte (R) CF

4. Josh Bell (S) DH

5. Melky Cabrera (S) RF

6. Colin Moran (L) 1B

7. Elias Diaz (R) C

8. Adam Frazier (L) 2B

9. Erik Gonzalez (R) 3B



Why the heck is Gonzalez playing? It should be Osuna at the hot corner, not somebody who will not be around next year?

Maybe they're trying to let him build value in hopes of a trade.

I think he could be around as utility infielder in 2020.

I’m at the Big A going for a sweep for my Buccos.

A sweep of the Angels helps evening out the whipping I witnessed at Dodger Stadium back in April
