Welcome to Thursday’s Marlins (49-61, -40 RD) vs. Phillies (62-48, +76 RD) game thread. The Phils have won six straight head-to-head matchups between these teams, with Miami averaging a pitiful one run per game during that span.

Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Fortes and Williams in, Bryan De La Cruz and Jacob Stallings out; Bleday switches from LF to RF

Additional Notes: This will be Cabrera’s first time facing the Phillies...Through 53 plate appearances in the majors in 2022, Díaz does not have any runs batted in. He had been leading Triple-A Jacksonville in that category (64 RBI in 368 PA).

Phillies Starting Lineup

  1. LF Kyle Schwarber (121 wRC+ this season, 64 wRC+ over last 30 days)
  2. 1B Rhys Hoskins (132, 121)
  3. 3B Alec Bohm (104, 158)
  4. DH Darick Hall (146, 152)
  5. RF Nick Castellanos (91, 98)
  6. SS Bryson Stott (67, 109)
  7. 2B Jean Segura (108, 158)
  8. C Garrett Stubbs (129, 89)
  9. CF Matt Vierling (76, 47)

RHP Kyle Gibson (94 ERA+ this season, career 95 ERA+)

Notes: Winners of 12 of their last 13 games overall, the Phillies are firing on all cylinders right now...Gibson has accumulated 1,452 career innings in the majors...despite not being particularly good? He’s got one of the highest innings totals among active pitchers who have a below-average ERA+...Phillies closer Seranthony Domínguez has never pitched on three straight days, so he is unlikely to be available today.
