This is only the second time this season Kapler has changed the Phils’ lineup. He gave Andrew Knapp the nod over J.T. Realmuto on Saturday. Tonight he drops the struggling Hernandez for Kingery.
Vince Velasquez vs. Anibal Sanchez in a few hours. The Phillies scored four runs on Sanchez in four innings last week, but went on to lose 9-8 after blowing an 8-6 lead.
