Ryan Braun: Leading Off Saturday

Braun will bat leadoff against the Pirates on Saturday.

Analysis:

With Carlos Gomez (hamstring) landing on the DL, the Brewers have a hole atop the order, and it will be Braun who sets the table Saturday. It marks the first time Braun has led off in his career. The 31-year-old Braun is still without an extra-base hit this season (seven singles), so this move out of a key RBI spot makes some sense, but it seems likely to be temporary.
