Randy Johnson may be 42 years old, and his ERA may be approaching 6.00. But he still forces teams to change their lineup. The Phillies are no different, and tonight, against The Big Unit, who is notoriously tough on lefties, they won't start Ryan Howard or Bobby Abreu, both left-handed hitters.
As a result, Chase Utley will play first base, a position he hasn't played since last season when he played eight games there.
Here is a Phillies lineup you probably won't see again this season.
SS Jimmy Rollins (.257, 9, 24)
RF Shane Victorino (.313, 3, 12)
1B Chase Utley (.297, 12, 41)
LF Pat Burrell (.262, 18, 50)
CF Aaron Rowand (.279, 8, 24)
3B David Bell (.259, 4, 25)
C Sal Fasano (.272, 4, 10)
2B Abraham Nunez (.173, 1, 3)
RHP Brett Myers (4-3, 3.86 ERA)
More after the game.
