MIAMI (AP) – The Philadelphia Phillies’ rebuilding effort was fully on display in the second game of this series, with the eight starters other than Ryan Howard combining for 573 fewer major league games played than the Miami Marlins’ Ichiro Suzuki, who had 879 more under his belt than Howard.
Philadelphia’s young lineup has continued to produce sans Chase Utley, though, and it looks to do the same for 37-year-old Aaron Harang against the host Marlins on Saturday night.
Utley played his last game for the Phillies (48-74) against Toronto on Tuesday before he was dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers the following night.
