Philadelphia Phillies Update Sunday Lineup vs. Cardinals: Turner Leads Off, Sosa Starts at 2B

In recent games, Kyle Schwarber was moved behind Bryce Harper in the batting order to offer lineup protection, especially after Harper was intentionally walked twice in Thursday night’s loss to the Atlanta Braves. Harper has two doubles and two home runs on the young season.

On Sunday, the Phillies face the St. Louis Cardinals in the final game of their three-game series at Busch Stadium, with first pitch scheduled for 2:15 p.m. ET.
