The Philadelphia Phillies will adjust the batting order after getting shut out twice by the San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n
After back-to-back shutout losses to the San Francisco Giants<\/a>, the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> will make adjustments to the batting order heading into a series<\/a> against the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> on Friday, April 10.<\/p>\n Manager Rob Thomson told reporters, including Matt Gelb of The Athletic<\/a>, that the lineup would be different for the matchup against the Diamondbacks. \u201cJust change the mindset a little bit, you know,\u201d Thomson said. The skipper specifically highlighted Adolis Garcia, who is expected to move up to the No. 4 spot. The right fielder has typically hit sixth in the lineup. He\u2019s batted cleanup once this year.<\/p>\n After failing to score in the final two games of the series against the Giants<\/a>, the Phillies have been held without a run for 20 consecutive innings. The club last cracked the scoreboard in the seventh inning of a 6-4 win<\/a> on Monday, April 6. A Brandon Marsh<\/a> sacrifice fly scored Bryce Harper<\/a> to cap the four-run frame, which turned a two-run deficit into a two-run lead.<\/p>\n Philadelphia Phillies to Change Lineup in an Effort to End Scoring Drought<\/p>\n The Phillies lost the final two games in San Francisco, dropping their record back to .500. The club has now lost three of four, including a defeat against the Colorado Rockies<\/a> on Sunday, April 5. Philadelphia\u2019s offense has generated the sixth-fewest runs over a dozen games. The team ranks in the bottom 10 in the league for batting average, slugging percentage, and OPS.<\/p>\n The lack of firepower is a stark contrast to last season\u2019s offense-driven squad. The Phillies were eighth in scoring in 2025. The club posted a .258 batting average, which ranked only behind the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>. Philadelphia received strong contributions up and down the lineup, led by a career-high 56 home runs from Kyle Schwarber<\/a> and a vintage 36-steal campaign from Trea Turner<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite the slow start, Thomson isn\u2019t ready to panic. \u201cYou just have to stay the course,\u201d the skipper said. \u201cThese guys are going to hit. It\u2019s just a matter of time, and we\u2019re just going through a dry spell.\u201d<\/p>\n Adolis Garcia to Benefit from Batting Order Adjustments<\/p>\n Garcia inked a one-year, $10 million deal<\/a> with the Phillies this offseason. The 33-year-old has spent the majority of his seven-year MLB career with the Texas Rangers<\/a>. Garcia won a World Series ring with Texas in 2023.<\/p>\n
