The Braves send out what has become the new regular lineup in recent days against Vince Velasquez and the Philadelphia Phillies. The typical top four of the lineup remains, with Pederson, Albies, Freeman, and Riley, after Freeman was moved back down to third and Swanson was briefly tried at second, following the crushing loss of Ronald Acuna Jr. Stephen Vogt is catching over Kevan Smith and batting sixth, while Abraham Almonte starts for the second straight day in left field.
The Phillies roll out the regulars of their own today in turn.
