With Mickens holding a 1-0 lead and a runner on, the choice to pull the right handed starter for a lefty loomed as Wallaesa, a switch hitter with power, faced a windward fence and Lehman warmed in the bullpen. The call altered the outcome and underscored the old bet on pitching to a batter’s strength.
