Even as both have had ice-cold starts to the postseason, expect to see Kyle Schwarber and Rhys Hoskins once again atop the Philadelphia Phillies lineup for Game 3 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves.
Manager Rob Thomson was asked in his media availability at Citizens Bank Park Thursday afternoon if he’s planning any changes in the top two spots of the lineup.
“No, no change.”
So Schwarber will lead off and Hoskins will bat second in Game 3?
“Yes.”
Since the start of he NLWCS, Schwarber is 0-16 with eight strikeouts. He does have two sacrifice flies, but for one of the few Phillies with extended postseason experience, it’s obviously been a suboptimal start to the playoffs for Schwarber.
