Matthews, Carter back in for tonight's lineup vs. Braves
Interesting strategy. Jerry Manuel's job is on the line and he chooses to give another start to Gary Matthews Jr. Not to mention Chris Carter back in the cleanup spot, playing rightfield in place of Jeff Francoeur, and Rod Barajas moves up to seventh.
Here's the lineup:
Jose Reyes - SS
Luis Castillo - 2B
Jason Bay - LF
Chris Carter - RF
David Wright - 3B
Ike Davis - 1B
Rod Barajas – C
Gary Matthews, Jr. – CF
Mike Pelfrey - RHP
