The Phillies (30-30) are finally at .500 for the first time since April when they were 6-6. Cole Hamels won his second game of the year, his first since April 28th, yesterday after going a month without a win. Hamels went 7 innings and allowed a run on four hits while striking out 11. A […]
After dropping the first two games to Milwaukee this weekend, the Phillies snapped out of a three-game losing streak yesterday in a 7-4 win over the Brewers. In 7 2/3 innings Cliff Lee was spectacular, striking out 11 batters. Lee wasn't the only star of the day as Domonic Brown went 3-for-4 and 4 RBIs. Brown […]
Today the Phillies announced that Michael Young has been reinstated to the roster after spending five days on the bereavement list. Last Wednesday the Phillies called up Cesar Hernandez to take Young's spot on the roster and it looks like, for the time being, he will stay with the big club. The Phillies have decided […]
So last night was a perfect opportunity for Cole Hamels to win a ball game…but he didn't. For the first time since April 7th he pitched with a lead, thanks to a Domonic Brown three-run shot (his first of two). It was not enough, however, as Hamels was tagged for six earned runs on a […]

Last night the Phillies and Reds Sox opened up a four-game set that would take place in Boston as well as Philadelphia. The Phillies will play two games in Boston and starting tomorrow the Red Sox will travel to Philly to finish up the last two of the series. The opening game of this one […]
The Phillies got even last night. Domonic Brown led the offense, hitting a home run in the second inning and driving in another run later in the eighth. The bats weren't the only ones who helped win last night – the bullpen had a good part in it too. The Phillies would use Bastardo and Durbin […]
