LOS ANGELES (AP) — in Game 5 of the NL Championship Series on Wednesday
Bobby Jenks Jersey , hours after his game-winning single pulled Los Angeles into a 2-all tie with Milwaukee in the best-of-seven series.Bellinger
singled home the winning run with two outs in the 13th inning of a 2-1 victory
Tuesday night that lasted more than five hours. The Dodgers primarily have been
using Chris Taylor in the leadoff spot.Manager Dave Roberts said he made the
change to “shake things up” and because he likes Bellinger’s at-bats against
Brewers left-handed starter Wade Miley.Bellinger started Games 1 and 3 and
entered as a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning of Game 4.Max Muncy is starting at
second base and hitting fifth for the Dodgers. Austin Barnes is starting at
catcher for the second straight game while Yasmani Grandal continues to
struggle.The Brewers are starting Hernan Perez at second base, his first start
since Game 1 of the series. He will hit fifth.Erik Kratz is back starting at
catcher and hitting seventh. He started Games 2 and 3 and came off the bench in
the 11th inning on Tuesday for Milwaukee.In another move, the Brewers added
right-hander Zach Davies to the NLCS roster, replacing Gio Gonzalez, who left
Game 4 with a high left ankle sprain.That means if the Brewers make it to the
World Series, Gonzalez cannot be on the roster since a player replaced due to
injury in one series is required to sit out the next one.Davies wasn’t on the
roster for the NL Division Series. He had a 2-7 record and 4.77 ERA in 13 starts
during the regular season.The series shifts back to Milwaukee for Game 6 on
Friday. The New York Yankees have bolstered their starting rotation by acquiring
Seattle Mariners lefty and Canadian James Paxton in a blockbuster deal, with
three prospects headed to the Emerald City.Per Corey Brock of The

Thompson-Williams.Paxton deal to Yankees is for Sheffield, OF Don

19, 2018Paxton - who threw a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays back on May
8 - enjoyed another stellar season on an otherwise mediocre Mariners team. He
reached double-digit wins for the second consecutive season, going 11-6 with a
3.76 ERA and 208 strikeouts in 160.1 innings pitched.advertisingPaxton joins a
stacked Yankees rotation that propelled them to another playoff spot in 2018,
though the Boston Red Sox defeated them in the ALDS. With C.C. Sabathia,
Masahiro Tanaka and Luis Severino in the fold
Carlton Fisk Jersey , New York has arguably the deepest starting rotation in all of baseball now. Credit: Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY SportsAs for the
Mariners, trading Paxton appears to be the start of a rebuilding process. Second
baseman Robinson Cano has been the subject of trade rumors, though moving out
the 36-year-old is easier said than done.Seattle has missed the playoffs every
year now since the 2001 season, and despite having a solid core built around
Cano, Kyle Seager, Paxton and Felix Hernandez, they just haven't been able to
build up the right group to make a run.advertisingWhat This MeansThe Yankees are
now built even further to embark on a championship run - and thus topple the Red
Sox in the AL East race. They've stacked up on left-handed pitchers
http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-jose-abreu-jersey , and Paxton should be a great fit in The Bronx.For the Mariners, they get a nice
haul in return for Paxton. Sheffield is one of the top pitching prospects in the
game - a player the Yankees refused to move out in previous trades.It's a
win-win for both teams, and it's safe to assume it's just the first of many big
time moves for the Yankees and Mariners.
