Chris Colabello to bat fifth again for Blue Jays in Game 5

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Chris Colabello is again batting fifth for Wednesday's Game 5 of the American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Colabello also hit fifth in Games 3 and 4, bumping Troy Tulowitzki down to sixth, where he'll hit again in Game 5. Justin Smoak is out of the order.

Colabello has paid off the confidence by going 4-for-12 in the playoffs with 2 doubles and 1 home run. They'll be facing lefty Cole Hamels, who had a 3.29 xFIP against right-handed batters this year. Colabello had a 26.3 strikeout rate against lefties to go with a a 35.4 hard-hit rate. This will be a matchup to watch Wednesday evening.
