Troy Glaus made a surprise start at shortstop last night -- a
first in his major league career.
Blue Jays Manager John Gibbons wanted more offense against White
Sox starter Freddy Garcia, and he didn't think his third baseman
would see many ground balls with fly ball pitcher Ted Lilly starting.
Gibbons said the move is just for one game. Glaus has made 11
appearances in the majors at shortstop, the last on June 6, 2002,
against Texas.
"I did play it the first 16 years of my baseball life," said the 6-
foot-5 Glaus, who cleanly fielded two grounders and caught a popup.
He had two hits, including his 14th homer.
