Game 55: Luna cleans up
We've reached the point in this strange Phillies season where Hector Luna bats cleanup.
Charlie Manuel is using his 46th different batting order in the team's 55th game. With a day game after an evening game, Carlos Ruiz sits. That necessitated a new No. 4 hitter. The 32-year-old Luna has never hit there in his 320 major-league games.
The full lineup against Carlos Zambrano:
1. Jimmy Rollins 6
2. Juan Pierre 7
3. Hunter Pence 9
4. Hector Luna 3
5. Shane Victorino 8
6. Placido Polanco 5
7. Freddy Galvis 4
8. Brian Schneider 2
9. Joe Blanton 1
The Marlins will counter with this against a scuffling Joe Blanton:
1. Jose Reyes 6
2. Omar Infante 4
3. Hanley Ramirez 5
4. Giancarlo Stanton 9
5. Greg Dobbs 7
6. Logan Morrison 3
7. John Buck 2
8. Chris Coghlan 8
9. Carlos Zambrano 1
