Gamenight: Phillies (19-15) At Diamondbacks (22-11)

Last night Adam Eaton didn’t pitch well enough to give the Phillies a win; tonight, Kyle Kendrick will have to baffle the Baby-Backs, as he faces Micah Owings. While Owings isn’t dominant, he sports a superb run support of 6.63 (of course, almost all the D-Back starters have high run support numbers). It’s up to Kendrick to subdue the tough Arizona offense.

Phillies: Kyle Kendrick (2-2), 5.01 ERA
Diamondbacks: Micah Owings (4-1) 4.42 ERA

Gametime: 9:40 p.m.
Weather: 84 degrees, sunny
Lineup: Victorino, Bruntlett, Utley, Howard, Burrell, Jenkins, Feliz, Ruiz, Kendrick

Your gamenight beer: I don’t necessarily want to honor an opponent’s player, but Micah Owings is Jewish, and how often do we get to drink Jewish beer? Here is He’Brew’s (good name, eh?) Rejewvenator (good name, eh?). Though it’s not the one pictured (that’s Genesis 10:10, which is retired â€” to the sauna ha ha ha), it’s a German-type (ironic?) kind of beer with multiple flavors and textures. Drink it with â€” uhhhh â€” matzo.

Go Phillies!

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
