Somehow, some way, the Phillies managed to come into Sunday's ballgame with the chance to sweep the Atlanta Braves. After Friday night's one-run victory and last night's walk off winner by Freddy Galvis, the Phillies had the momentum going into their final matchup of the season at Citizen's Bank Park against the Braves. Paul Maholm […]
Last night's game was so cool. After back and forth play – including a blown save by Jonathan Papelbon, the Phillies came back on top with a walkoff solo home run in the ninth inning. The Phillies, still 12 games under .500, will send out Cole Hamels (6-13, 3.50 ERA) to face the first place […]

Kyle Kendrick has been highly inconsistent in his last dozen starts, with most of them being of the disappointing variety.

After a strong first inning, Ethan Martin pitched himself into and out of trouble until being chased with two outs in the 5th inning after losing all command and allowing five runs. While he still shows plenty of upside and the starter/reliever debate is boiling, the real question now has to do with if Martin […]

Both starter's in tonight's ballgame were coming off dominating performances against the opposing club the last time they faced them.
