Gamenight: Nationals (44-83) At Phillies (68-58)

Brett Myers pitched the Phils to another win over the Nationals. His complete-game shutout performance allowed for a series win. Now the Phils will try to sweep the Nationals out of Philly. The Phils can move to one game behind the Mets with a win tonight.

The Legend Continues: With his 11 wins, Jamie Moyer is the team’s top winner. He now has 241 for his career.

The Dobbs Split: Greg Dobbs is hitting .309 with all six of his homers against right-handed pitching.

In The Redd: Tim Redding was phenomenal against the Phillies his first two times against them, but the Phils figured him out July 30, scoring seven runs off him in four innings en route to an 8-5 loss.

Petey!: Pedro Feliz is in the starting lineup, seeing his first action since an injury derailed him in late July. He is paired in the lineup with his rhyming brother, Carlos Ruiz.

Phillies: Jamie Moyer (11-7) 3.64 ERA
Nationals: Tim Redding (8-8) 4.66 ERA

Gametime: 7:05 p.m. EST
Weather: 81, sunny
Lineup: Rollins/Werth/Utley/Howard/Burrell/Victorino/Feliz/Ruiz/Moyer

Your gamenight beer: A couple things I love — Belgian beer and amber beer. This is Bruegel Amber Ale, named after painter Pieter Bruegel, evidently. I’ll drink to art anyday of the week. Pair this with a shrimp salad.

Go Phillies!

Tim Malcolm

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.
