⚾ Going fourth | Sports Daily Newsletter
Luis Arraez doesn’t cry after strikeouts anymore. And not just because he doesn’t whiff often. The Phillies new second baseman caused a lineup shake-up immediately. And that extended to Tuesday’s starting lineup, with slugger Kyle Schwarber leading off and Arraez, who’ll wear No. 4, in the cleanup spot. So to recap: the second baseman (4 in baseball shorthand) wearing No. 4, had four homers on the season, and was batting fourth. It’s a spot in the lineup he’d only occupied 39 times before, but no worries.“I don’t care. If I see my name in the lineup, I’ll be happy,” Arraez said.And that’s not all he’s excited about now that he’s here.Oh, and in the newbie’s first two at-bats as a Phillie? RBI singles. Here’s how the rest of the game played out.— Maria McIlwain, @phillysport, sports.daily@i
