Overall Shelton has done a decent job but he still makes some questionable lineup/position decisions. This is a key game and we've got Buxton and Jeffers sitting and at least two guys playing out of position.

Also, I thought MLB might front load most of the inter-league series to April and May (in case games are lost early on). The Twins do have a total of 8 series against NL teams in March/April/May, but they also have 4 in September.
March/April - 5
May - 3
June - 1
July - 2
August - 1
September - 4
According to baseballref.com: "Suspended Games: If a game is called in the middle of an inning after becoming an official game, and the visiting team has taken the lead (or the game is tied), it is a suspended game. It will be resumed at a later date from the exact point of stoppage."
Martin leads the team in walks and OBP. I would go: 1.Martin, 2.Buxton, 3.Larnach, 4.Jeffers, 5.Lee, etc. ... and then 9. Kriedler as a secondary leadoff guy.
