The Phillies needed to do something to get their struggling offense going.

So, Rob Thomson on Tuesday finally made a change to the lineup. He moved Trea Turner into the leadoff spot. He moved Bryson Stott into the five-hole. Why five? Well, because Bryce Harper is injured, and the rest of the lineup might be struggling even more than Stott. The Phillies need almost perfect pitching to win these days. They didn’t get it in Tuesday night’s 8-4 loss to the Cubs, which included Mick Abel’s first stumble in the big leagues, and Taijuan Walker’s first stumble in his first high-leverage situation as a reliever.
