Only against right handed pitching. They were platooning half the lineup and Lawrie was forced to play 2 positions.

The healthy lineup during the May hot streak against right handed pitching was.

SS Reyes
LF Cabrera
RF Bautista
1B Encarnation
DH Lind
C Navarro
3B Francisco
2B Lawrie
CF Rasmus

That was indeed a strong lineup but it was power heavy. Stil sort of feast of famine. Not much speed. They still couldn't win the close game where a run or two were needed.
