What happened: In the bottom of the eighth inning, pitcher JR Ritchie entered the batting order in the eighth spot as Rowdy Tellez left the game. The move was a standard double switch made alongside a pitching change late in a tight contest.

Why it matters: Double switches let a manager reorder the lineup so the incoming pitcher hits as late as possible, preserving offense from the bottom of the order. Pulling Tellez also takes his bat out of the rest of the night, a small but telling sign of how the staff managed the closing innings.

What to watch: With the game now final, the switch stands as one of the last roster decisions of the night, and how the staff manages the bullpen sequence next time out is worth tracking.
