Lamb went 2-for-3 with a double and a pair of walks Friday in the Diamondbacks' 7-1 win over the Athletics.

Lamb had previously been deployed as the Diamondbacks' No. 3 hitter in each of his four starts since coming off the 10-day disabled list last week, but he dropped all the way to sixth with lefty Sean Manaea on the bump for Oakland. The lefty-on-lefty matchup didn't hinder Lamb's effectiveness Friday, but the third baseman's poor career track record against southpaws could result in him frequently hitting the bench in those scenarios. Over 368 career plate appearances versus lefties, Lamb has slashed .161/.272/.304 (51 wRC+) while striking out 32.3 percent of the time.

I see that Goldy will be DH'ing and batting second in Game 2, with Descalso batting cleanup and playing 1B. And the power hitting Brito starting in RF.

Well, I give credit to Lovullo for trying something different, but I would be surprised if he sticks with it. He needs to give Brito a chance ... if he's going to give him a chance.

'Hope it works today. Against the A's, it should. But I'd like to see changes that last for more than a couple of games (one plan vs. righties and one plan vs. lefties).

Getting back to the #Dbacks starting lineup... Torey Lovullo said he's been thinking about hitting Goldy 2nd for a while now. Likes the idea of grouping best hitters in top 4 spots.
