After securing a series win on Saturday afternoon by virtue of a walk-off hit by Bryson Stott, the Philadelphia Phillies are going for a sweep of the Cincinnati Reds on Easter Sunday at Citizens Bank Park.

First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET. The National League champion Phillies enter the matchup at 3-5 overall while the Reds are 3-4. 

Here is the starting lineup for the Phillies, managed by Rob Thomson.

1) Trea Turner, SS

2) Kyle Schwarber, DH

3) J.T. Realmuto, C

4) Nick Castellanos, RF

5) Bryson Stott, 2B 

6) Alec Bohm, 1B

7) Brandon Marsh, CF

8) Edmundo Sosa, 3B

9) Jake Cave, LF

SP: Taijuan Walker (0-1, 8.31 ERA)

The big thing out of this lineup is that Bohm slides over to first base against Connor Overton. With the injuries to Rhys Hoskins and Darick Hall, the Phillies are having to get creative in how they handle first base. We wrote about this scenario the other day. It's interesting to note that the original thought was that Kody Clemens would get a majority of starts against righties at first base, but that isn't the case today.

As for the Reds, managed by David Bell.

1) Jonathan India, 2B

2) T.J. Friedl, CF

3) Jake Fraley, DH

4) Tyler Stephenson, C

5) Wil Myers, RF

6) Jason Vosler, 1B

7) Spencer Steer, 3B

8) Kevin Newman, SS

9) Will Benson, LF

SP: Connor Overton (0-0, 11.25 ERA)

Overton gets the ball for the Reds after going just four innings in his first start of the year. He gave up eight hits and five earned runs against the Chicago Cubs. He walked one and struck out five.
