LeMahieu will lead off Saturday against the Padres.
LeMahieu dropped to eighth in the order Friday, but with the Padres turning to lefty Drew Pomeranz on the bump Saturday, the talented second baseman will hit atop the order. This could be the start of a trend for LeMahieu and the Rockies, as he led off Wednesday against Arizona southpaw Patrick Corbin. Regardless of who he has faced this season, LeMahieu has been able to collect hits at a greedy rate with four multi-hit games in a row to start the year. He's slashing .571/.571/1.071 through four games.
