Welcome to the 21st century and analytics. #2 batter gets 18 more at bats per year than the #3 hitter. 4 games worth of at bats. So teams started batting their best guy 2nd.

Wasn’t it the Angels with Trout that started it? Might be wrong about that. But it’s the rage now.

By the way, real nice sliding grab in foul territory for Bauers out in LF.

Scoreless after 3, Kluber off to a nice start.

The only other notable I saw was Jose Ramirez trying to bunt his way on in the first inning. He had NO problem getting down the line - he flew. (He was out but it's good news)

And Boston has put Mookie Betts there this year.

Makes sense, he would get more at bats, and also get some runners on base. Especially in the AL.

Could be a typical game - at least for now.

Still 0-0 after 5. Granted both teams have their aces going. I think rotation depth is the Twins' weakest area.

Bauers with another couple of nice plays in left field. Surprisingly comfortable out there.

Also nice to see Leonys Martin continue to hit.
