Tonight's lineup: Rhys Hoskins batting cleanup after three-strikeout night

Share

A day after perhaps his worst game since getting called up, Rhys Hoskins is back in the lineup, batting fourth Saturday against the Marlins (7:10/CSN and CSNPhilly.com).

Hoskins went 0 for 3 with a walk in Friday night's 2-1 Phillies win over the Fish. All three of his outs were strikeouts, his first three-strikeout game in the majors.

Going into the game, Hoskins had struck out just 14 times compared to 13 walks. Even after his lackluster evening, he's still posted a strong strikeout rate for the season while commanding the strike zone. The 0 for 3 night broke his 13-game hitting streak.

With right-handed starter Dan Straily on the hill for the Marlins, Nick Williams is moved back up in the lineup, where he'll bat third. He went 0 for 4 in the six-hole Friday.

Aaron Nola makes the start for the Phillies. Therefore, Cameron Rupp returns behind the plate while Jorge Alfaro will be on the bench.

Here's the full Phillies lineup that will oppose Straily:

1. Cesar Hernandez, 2B
2. Freddy Galvis, SS
3. Nick Williams, RF
4. Rhys Hoskins, LF
5. Tommy Joseph, 1B
6. Maikel Franco, 3B
7. Pedro Florimon, CF
8. Cameron Rupp, C
9. Aaron Nola, P

And here's the Marlins lineup for the third game of the four-game set.
