Gameday 2018: Phillies (7-5) at Rays (3-10)

Can the Phillies make it five wins in a row? Jake Arrieta is on the mound today, so there’s certainly a chance.

Gametime: 6:10 p.m.

The lineup:

1. Hernandez – 2B
2. Santana – 1B
3. Herrera – CF
4. Hoskins – DH
5. Williams – RF
6. Kingery – LF
7. Franco – 3B
8. Alfaro – C
9. Crawford – SS

Pitchers: Jake Arrieta (0-0, 4.50 ERA) vs. Chris Archer (1-0, 5.94 ERA)

Pretty good pitching matchup, as Arrieta makes his second start as a Phillie. Scott Kingery goes to left field today (weird and sad that Rhys Hoskins is the designated hitter in this scenario), while the scuffling Aaron Altherr sits down.

Your Gameday Beer: St. Pete Beach Blonde AleAnother unseasonably warm day calls for another crushable, simple beer. In St. Petersburg, 3 Daughters Brewing makes . It’s apparently just fine (I’ve never had it), and it’s also not available everywhere, so grab whatever easy-drinking blonde or amber ale you have nearby.

Go Phillies!
