2B - Kazuo Matsui
SS - Troy Tulowitzki
LF - Matt Holliday
1B - Todd Helton
3B - Garrett Atkins
RF - Brad Hawpe

2B - Chase Utley

Couple of surprises there.

First, Victorino is playing against a left-handed pitcher. Down the stretch, Jayson Werth was getting most of the at-bats against lefties. But Charlie Manuel said he wanted Victorino's speed in the lineup. "We want to take advantage of maybe stealing a bag," he said.

Second, Ruiz is starting after feeling so much pain in his bruised left elbow yesterday that he underwent an MRI exam. But Ruiz came to the Bank at 8:30 this morning, played catch with pitching coach Rich Dubee and felt no pain. "I was so happy this morning when I woke up and felt good," Ruiz said. "I'm ready to go. I didn't want to miss this."

More later.
