Justin Turner Leading Off Against Lefty in NLDS Game 2
Justin Turner is leading off and playing first base in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby. Turner replaces left-handed hitting Michael Busch at first base, who homered in Game 1 but struggles against same-handed pitching. Turner slashed .276/.330/.429 with three home runs in 109 plate appearances against southpaws in the regular season. Busch will almost certainly replace Turner early in Game 2, as Ashby is expected to be used as an opener and will likely only pitch an inning or two at most.
