Tonight's lineup: Nick Williams makes his Citizens Bank Park debut

Share

Four for 13 in three games? Not a bad start for Nick Williams, who was promoted to the big-league club Friday. But now he's got to show off for the home fans, and the young rightfielder will bat fifth in his home debut.

Daniel Nava will be atop the lineup again Monday night, playing in left. Odubel Herrera, however, has continued to drop further and further in the batting order and will hit seventh. The center fielder hasn't gotten a hit since last Monday at Arizona and has six strikeouts in his last four games.

Aaron Nola will take the hill Monday in search of a third straight victory. He's gone at least seven innings in his last two starts, allowing five or fewer hits and picking up eight or more Ks in those appearances.

Here's the full lineup for the 7:05 start this evening:

1. Daniel Nava, LF
2. Freddy Galvis, SS
3. Maikel Franco, 3B
4. Tommy Joseph, 1B
5. Nick Williams, RF
6. Andrés Blanco, 2B
7. Odubel Herrera, CF
