Game 2 lineup — Barmes is in there
The Rockies went with the lineup that was expected coming out of Spring Training. That means Clint Barmes, who didn’t start Monday’s opener (Ian Stewart went 1-for-3 with an RBI before being replaced by Barmes, who was 0-for-2), is in the lineup.
Stewart was in for the left-on-right matchup with D-backs starter Brandon Webb. Tonight’s starter, Dan Haren, also is a tough righty. But it turns out there isn’t a favorable matchup for the two second basemen. Barmes is 1-for-12 and Stewart 1-for-9 against Haren. The other second baseman for the Rockies, Jeff Baker, is 1-for-2 against Haren.
Those who hit Haren well are catcher Chris Iannetta (4-for-9, .444), center fielder Ryan Spilborghs (4-for-11, .364) and third baseman Garrett Atkins (4-for-13, .308, 1 HR, 4 RBIs).
At any rate, here is the lineup:
Ryan Spilborghs CF
Seth Smith LF
Todd Helton 1B
Garrett Atkins 3B
Brad Hawpe RF
Troy Tulowitzki SS
Chris Iannetta C
Clint Barmes 2B
Ubaldo Jimenez P
