Tonight's lineup

Craig Wilson is in right after Raul Mondesi cut down so many from right in Shea. Lanny Frattare on KDKA noted that Mac indicated to him before the game that he doesn't care to shuttle Mondy back and forth from right to left, but he does not want Wilson playing left field at PNC (which is more spacious and difficult to play than right field at PNC).

Simon is now behind behind Wilson with Mackowiak in the five hole. Mac will play R-L-R with 4-5-6. Simon's demotion behind Wilson should encourage Wilson fans who think Mac plays favorites in the Simon/Wilson derby at first base.

Vogelsong threw 32 pitches in the first inning and got hit hard. He came back with a quiet second. He must figure out how to keep the ball in the park if he wants to limit the other team to less than five runs per start.
