AI Summary

Konnor Griffin is starting at shortstop and batting second against the Rockies, a higher-than-usual spot in the order that could boost his counting stats.

The Rockies have a left-hander on the mound, which means Brandon Lowe will move down from his usual spot in the order to seventh. However, Griffin has never hit above sixth in the batting order for the Pirates, even against lefties. If this is going to be a regular thing, that's a nice boost for his counting stats.
