NLCS Game 4: Ben Francisco In, Raul Ibanez Out Of Phillies Starting Lineup

In Game 4 of the NLCS, we see one significant change in the Phillies' starting lineup - Ben Francisco is in, and Raul Ibanez is out. The right-handed Francisco takes Ibanez's place in left field because they're going up against the left-handed Madison Bumgarner, and Francisco has hit .267 against southpaws for his career with a .806 OPS. He's hit .284 against lefties in 2010.
