Tampa Bay Manager Joe Maddon has decided to shake up the team's batting order in an attempt to keep the team's World Series hopes alive.

Maddon has moved Carl Crawford from fifth to second while moving his normal 2-3-4 hitters down one spot each. B.J. Upton will bat third, Carlos Pena fourth, and Evan Longoria fifth.

Rocco Baldelli is another change, he will bat seventh on Monday night.

Philadelphia's lineup will remain exactly the same as they look to capture the 2008 World Series at home.
