Riley takes his first steps in a tight bend as the Braves join hands

The Braves make some changes to their recent defensive setup and their lineup for the Milwaukee Brewers' final:

Austin Riley made his first start at third base in place of Josh Donaldson. Johan Camargo will take over in the left field. In the absence of Donaldson, Nick Markakis and Riley advance one place in the order to rank respectively fourth and fifth, while Camargo ranks sixth. Suffice to say that the Braves have not used this arrangement this year.

For the Brewers, Jesus Aguilar and Ryan Braun will occupy a place on the bench. Eric Thames and Ben Gamel will start in their respective places.

This is the first time the Brewers have used this defensive arrangement, even if no one is playing outside.

Nobody among the Braves has ever faced Brandon Woodruff. It's rather strange to see that he has launched more than 130 major races in three seasons, but never against the Braves, at least until today. On the other hand, this Milwaukee Army Corps has a lot of experience against Foltynewicz. Grandal has coached Foltynewicz twice over the course of his career and starts the rare starts one day after the other. Aguilar, who is not in the starting lineup, also dominated the Braves' right-hander. Christian Yelich is the Milwaukee hitter with the most experience against Foltynewicz. He faced him 24 times.
