A Note for Tonight:

The Phillies will be looking to take the first game of a day-night doubleheader against the Braves with Roberto Hernandez on the mound. The Braves took the first game of this four game series last night with a 4-2 victory. The Phillies lineup will be looking quite differently for the first game of this doubleheader with former Washington Nationals catcher Koyie Hill getting the start for the Phillies at backstop and batting seventh. Jimmy Rollins will also be getting the day portion of the doubleheader off as Ronny Cedeno gets the stop at shortstop and will be batting eighth. Manager Ryne Sandberg looks to put some speed at top of the lineup with Gwynn starting in right field and batting second behind Ben Revere. Domonic Brown is also back in the Phillies lineup after not playing last night, and he will be hitting sixth behind Cody Asche.

Lineup:

Revere CF / Gwynn RF / Utley 2B / Howard 1B / Asche 3B / Brown LF / Hill C / Cedeno SS / Hamels P
