O'Neill bats cleanup, Garcia at short for Sunday finale with Phillies

Tyler O'Neill, after hitting his first big-league home run on Saturday, will play left field and bat fourth for the Cardinals on Sunday against the Phillies.

The Cardinals have gotten no home runs from their cleanup spot at home this season, which almost exclusively has been occupied by Marcell Ozuna, who is out of the lineup today. Ozuna is hitless in his past 22 at-bats. He went 0 for 4 on Saturday, reaching first on an error.

Greg Garcia will start at shortstop on Sunday, taking over for Jedd Gyorko, who had two throwing errors on Saturday as he filled in for Paul DeJong.
