Tonight's Lineup: Howie Kendrick Back in LF, Aaron Altherr Slides Down

The Phillies' lineup is a bit different after their 11-run outburst Monday.

Howie Kendrick is back in left field and batting third after sitting for Michael Saunders in the series-opening win.

Aaron Altherr, who went 3 for 4 with a homer and three RBIs in the three-hole Monday, moves down to fifth.

Cameron Rupp is back behind the plate to catch Aaron Nola. The Phils are hoping to get Rupp going. He's 5 for 38 over his last dozen games.

Maikel Franco, the only Phillies position player to go hitless last night, remains in the six-hole.

1. Cesar Hernandez, 2B
2. Odubel Herrera, CF

4. Tommy Joseph, 1B
