Kyle Schwarber Resting Against Astros
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Astros. The Phillies will give Schwarber the day off after they clinched a postseason berth with a victory on Monday night. He's currently riding a modest four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 8-for-13 (.615) with four home runs, one triple, seven RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base. The Phillies will be hoping he can keep that up with the playoffs beginning this Friday. With Schwarber on the bench, Matt Vierling is starting in left field and batting seventh against Astros right-hander Justin Verlander. Vierling does have multi-hit showings in back-to-back games, but he's also gone 4-for-17 with a homer and three RBI in his last seven games.
