Gameday 2018: Phillies (9-6) at Braves (9-6)

It had to end some time.

The Phillies lost Monday night to the Braves, and on a night when the Sixers lost to the Heat.

Blech.

It’s okay. Also, Odubel Herrera is good and stop complaining about him. Anyway, here’s the lineup!

Gametime: 7:35 p.m.

The lineup:

Hernandez – 2B
Santana – 1B
Herrera – CF
Hoskins – LF
Williams – RF
Franco – 3B
Knapp – C
Pivetta – P
Crawford – SS

Pitchers: Nick Pivetta (1-0, 2.70 ERA) vs. Mike Foltynewicz (1-1, 2.93 ERA)

Pivetta hopes to continue his strong start to the season. Crawford is back below the pitcher’s spot tonight, while Andrew Knapp gets a start at catcher. Also, no Scott Kingery.

Your Gameday Beer: Late to this one tonight, so allow me to drop in Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, my first favorite beer. It still hits a weird s0ft spot, but my tastes have since matured.

Go Phillies!

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
