Helms is "3 for 9 With a Double and a Homer" off of Wakefield

'"The approach I used is I just played pepper with him," said Helms, who last faced Wakefield as a member of the Brewers in 2003. "I looked for a ball up because usually the balls up come in the strike zone. You have to go up there your first at-bat and see how it's moving because some nights it doesn't move as good as others...

'"You have to take what you get,...If it's two singles, it's two singles. Your bat will generate the power. You can't try to drive the ball off them because if you overswing you're hurting yourself."'

ALSO: Uggla's back, Cody's in center, and Ortiz's in the lineup. (SunSentinel)
