Braves Bench 2B Conrad After 3 Errors

ATLANTA (AP) — Brooks Conrad has been benched one day after making three errors at second base that left the Atlanta Braves on the brink of playoff elimination.

Braves manager Bobby Cox’s lineup for Monday night’s Game 4 of the NL division series against the San Francisco Giants includes Omar Infante at second base and Troy Glaus at third.

Glaus, who started 107 games at first base this season, will be making his first start of 2010 at third, his former position.

Conrad, a 30-year-old rookie, has eight errors in the last seven games, including four in the first three games of the division series.

Conrad bobbled a grounder and dropped a pop fly before his most devastating error in the ninth inning Sunday. Buster Posey’s one-hopper skidded right through his legs, allowing the Giants to score the tiebreaking run and take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
