On Wednesday, the Philadelphia Phillies will conclude their series with the Miami Marlins in Florida.

They will look to avoid a sweep after losing each of the first two games.

Most recently, the Phillies lost by a score of 1-0 on Tuesday night.

Kyle Schwarber did not play in the game.

Todd Zolecki of MLB.com wrote (on Tuesday): “Kyle Schwarber isn’t in the lineup tonight with a GI illness. Had something similar in late May, when he missed three games.”
