Philadelphia Phillies
Chase Utley is getting closer and closer to being back with the Phillies. The Phillies' second baseman, who has been working on a rehab stint with Class-A Clearwater for the past couple of weeks, is coming to Lehigh Valley to continue his rehab. Utley will play second base for the IronPigs on Tuesday night. In […]
Cole Hamels tossed seven innings of shutout baseball, allowing three hits while walking three and striking out seven against the Rays. Hamels earned the no-decision in the Phillies' 3-2 loss in game one. Antonio Bastardo is the one to blame for the loss, he walked the first two batters he faced and surrendered a three-run […]
What a way to end yesterday's ball game. If there's anybody who can pull off such a clutch moment it's Jim Thome. The Phillies took game one of this three-game set yesterday, 7-6. Even though they've taken game one, they still have work to do. Today is a day-night doubleheader. Game one will start at […]
With last night's game being postponed, the Phillies will play a day-night double header on Sunday to finish the series with the Rays. Today, which was set to be game two, will be game one and Kyle Kendrick is on the hill for the Phils. Cliff Lee will start in game two of tomorrow's double […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) According to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Matt Gelb, Phillies righthander Mike Stutes will undergo arthroscopic shoulder surgery on Tuesday. Stutes will undergo the surgery to "clean out fraying from his shoulder". Although there is no belief that there is serious structural damage in his rotator cuff, the surgery will tell for sure. The 25 […]
The Phillies were unable to pull off a sweep against the Rockies, but they still won two games out of three. I guess it's good enough, but now the real task is at hand. The Phillies are opening up a weekend series with the Tampa Rays this evening. The Rays (38-31) sit 3 1/2 games […]
Just another one of those games on a sweltering June night. As big of a problem as situational hitting is for the Phillies, it seems to be getting worse as the season progresses. Vance Worley isn't a big fan of the heat and humidity, as seen in his dripping-wet pitcher's goggles. Despite the heat, Vance […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies have already won this series after taking the first two games against the Rockies. Tonight they'll aim for the sweep of the Rockies. If they do so, it will be their first sweep of a three-game series this season. Last night, Placido Polanco ended the game in dramatic and unusual fashion. […]
Chase Utley went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and played eigth innings in the field in last night's rehab start with Clearwater. He can return to the Phillies no later than July 2. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) There was more than one situation last night when the Phillies could have used Chase Utley's bat at the […]
Joe Blanton took the hill tonight against the Rockies, looking to take this series from them and earn his seventh win on the season. It would be a wild ballgame tonight, especially the ending. The Phils scored first this evening in the first inning. Hunter Pence grounded out to score Juan Pierre from third. Wilin […]
