View image | gettyimages.com For the eighth time this season, and fifth for a starting pitcher, a new member of the Phillies took the field for his major-league debut. This was Alec Asher, joining three other rookies in the Phillies rotation, as a first-time starter in the majors. It wasn't a bad debut for […]
View image | gettyimages.com The wins just kept coming for the Phillies (44-67) on Saturday night. Another series win, and now 15 wins in 20 games since the All-Star Break, not only allowed the Phillies to build on what has been baseball's best record in that time, but move out of last place in […]
View image | gettyimages.com In Friday's win in San Diego, the Phillies needed four solo home runs to rally from a 3-0 deficit to claim a 4-3 win. On Saturday, they used timely hitting to take the early lead and pad it late to continue their hot streak. Odubel Herrera and Cesar Hernandez had […]
Cliff Lee led the Phillies to a series opening win in Los Angeles to help even up the road trip and get the Phils off on the right foot in their new series. Once again, the Phillies (9-10) have a chance to reach that elusive .500 mark. The Los Angeles Dodgers (12-8) look to bounce back from a tough […]

Roy Halladay made his return to baseball tonight after missing 42 days total with his latissimus dorsi strain. He did so against Stephen Fife, a 25-year-old making his major league debut for the sidelined Chad Billingsley. Much like they've been doing more of recently, the Phillies scored first. Jimmy Rollins scored in the top of […]
These late night games can really get weird. Joe Blanton opened up a series in Los Angeles with a whale of an effort (unintentional weight joke, you're lookin' good, Joe) to shut down the Dodgers' lineup for the most part. The leaders in the National League West and the bottom feeders of the National League […]
Vance Worley (3-2, 3.07 ERA) has missed action for the past three weeks and today he'll return to the mound to open up a four-game set with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The best team in the MLB. Worley was sidelined on the DL with elbow tenderness three weeks ago and later discovered that he had […]
Carlos Ruiz and the Phillies open a four-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) This is the last team the Phillies wanted to see. For a team that can't seem to get into a groove or win consistently at home, into town roll baseball's best team so far this season: the Los […]
