Red Sox Shuffle Lineup, Yoshida Bats Second

0:00On April 6th, Boston Red Sox Manager Alex Korra made a quick change to the lineup. Shortstop Trevor's story dropped from the number 2 spot to 5th against the Milwaukee Brewers. Designated hitter Masataka Yoshida slides up to bat second. This tweet came one day after an 8-6 loss to the San Diego Padres. Story held down that second position for the team's first nine games this season. Korra had already floated the idea of mixing things up. The Red Sox offense has crawled along at 3.3 runs per game early on. They finally broke out for six runs Sunday, a season high. The story's been ice cold with just five hits and 42 at bats, one homer, two RBI's, zero walks and a team wore 17 strikeouts. Yoshida brings patience to the two hole. In seven games, he's three for 13, with three RBI's, six walks and a 0.474 on-base percentage. Korra simply said they need to see if it clicks. Expect more lineup experiments if the bats stay quiet.
