Matt Vierling, Edmundo Sosa Starting In Game 6
2 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies outfielder Matt Vierling and shortstop Edmundo Sosa are in the starting lineup for Game 6 of the World Series against the Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez. Brandon Marsh and rookie Bryson Stott will start on the bench against the southpaw. Vierling is hitting eighth and Sosa is in the nine-hole. In 11 playoff games (four starts), Vierling has gone just 2-for-12 with a double, RBI, two runs scored and four strikeouts. Meanwhile, Sosa has also played in 11 games (three starts) and has gone 2-for-6 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored, a walk and three strikeouts. Any offensive production the Phillies get from these two will be gravy as they look to send the series to a deciding seventh game on Sunday.
