Rookie righty Tyler Cloyd will get the nod for Philadelphia at Marlins Park.

After defeating the D-backs and left-hander Wade Miley, 2-1, on Sunday to snap a season-long seven-game losing streak, Redmond batted the same first eight against Phillies southpaw Cole Hamels on Monday.

The rookie's two-out, two-run double in the sixth was the difference in the Marlins' 2-1 win against the D-backs at Marlins Park.
