CINCINNATI -- Brewers manager Ned Yost insists that alternating Bill Hall and Corey Hart in the batting order is not an earth-shattering move, though it might be earth-shaking. Yost had Hall batting sixth Friday night for the first time this season. Hart hit fifth.

"The earth shook in the afternoon, not the night," said Yost, drawing reference to the 5.2-magnitude earthquake which hit Cincinnati early Friday morning. "It's not that big a deal. It has worked out fine. We'll go day-to-day. For me, it's not a big deal."

Hall hit a two-run home run Friday, highlighting a 5-2 victory over Cincinnati in the series opener. Hart went 1-for-3 with an RBI.

For Saturday's game, Yost kept the pair in the same spots.

"Both guys are going to have a lot of RBI opportunities," Yost said. "Billy strikes out more, but has more power. Corey's tougher to double-up. That's the main differences between the two. Both are capable of being big run producers."

Gabe Gross started in center field and batted seventh. Yost considered giving Gabe Kapler, a left-handed batter, a start, but reconsidered. Kapler had been nursing a bruised shoulder, but did pinch-hit Friday.

That the Reds were starting right-hander Johnny Cueto made the decision easier, said Yost.

"Cueto's pretty tough against right-handers," Yost said. "He's tough against left-handers, too. But, right now, we want to get Gabe to heal up to 100 percent. He's real close."

After a day off Friday, Rickie Weeks was back in the Brewers lineup batting leadoff.

Jason Kendall batted ninth, behind starting pitcher Jeff Suppan.
