Game 2 lineups

Jayson WerthFacing another lefty in Game 2 of the NLDS, manager Charlie Manuel will go with the Phillies’ “lefty” lineup. Manuel did not alter the order to face lefty Jeff Francis in Game 1, opting to go with Shane Victorino in right field instead of Jayson Werth, who hit .375 against southpaws this season. However, Manuel did go with Wes Helms at third base instead of Greg Dobbs. He did it again for Game 2:

Phillies 11- Jimmy Rollins, ss 26 – Chase Utley, 2b 5 – Pat Burrell, lf 6 – Ryan Howard, 1b 33 – Aaron Rowand, cf 28 – Jayson Werth, rf 18 – Wes Helms, 3b 51 – Carlos Ruiz, c 38 – Kyle Kendrick, p

Meanwhile, Clint Hurdle is sticking with the status quo for Game 2:

Rockies 7 – Kaz Matsui, 2b 2 – Troy Tulowitzki, ss 5 – Matt Holliday, lf 17 – Todd Helton, 1b 27 – Garrett Atkins, 3b 11 – Brad Hawpe, rf 19 – Ryan Spilborghs, cf 8 – Yorvit Torrealba, c 56 – Franklin Morales

Like Kendrick, Morales is a rookie. However, the Rockies’ lefty is not as seasoned as the Phillies’ rookie. Game 2 will be Morales’ ninth big-league start. For Kendrick it will be No. 21.
