Gameday 2018: Phillies (0-1) at Braves (1-0)

Thankfully, they play baseball nearly every day. We can put yesterday behind us and hope the outcome is much better today. The Phillies visit the Braves for the second of three at SunTrust.

The lineup:

1. Hernandez – 2B
2. Santana – 1B
3. Herrera – CF
4. Hoskins – LF
5. Altherr – RF
6. Kingery – 3B
7. Knapp – C
8. Pivetta – P
9. Crawford – SS

Pitchers: Nick Pivetta (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Mike Foltynewicz (0-0, 0.00 ERA)

Odubel Herrera is back in the lineup in center field, while J.P. Crawford is down in the nine-hole. Also, Andrew Knapp is starting for the second-straight day, leaving Jorge Alfaro on the bench. So that’s about it-

OH WAIT, right. Scott Kingery makes his major league debut tonight.

Here we go.

Your Gameday Beer: We need to wash away yesterday’s terrible finish, so I suggest a clean, crisp pilsner. Let’s go with Steamworks Pilsner, one of the best I’ve ever had of the style.

Go Phillies!
