Ben Revere is not in the starting lineup for the first time since he returned to the club on June 2 from Class AAA Rochester. Jason Repko is in center and batting leadoff.
``He"s been playing very good out there," Gardy said, ``but he's also played every game since he's been here, since he took over that role. He started to get beat up, a little worn out."
In the wake of the death of a fan trying to catch a ball thrown to him by Josh Hamilton, railings all over the stadium here have had warning labels attached to them.
