Jamie Moyer and JA Happ will take the hill when the Phillies visit the Rays at Port Charlotte, Fla. Gametime is 1:05 p.m.
The 46-year-old lefty is coming off a solid start against the Tigers. He struck out five in four innings, letting up just a run. Happ, meanwhile, mowed down the cats with a seven-strikeout pefromance in three frames. The latter is immeresed in the Fight For Fifth, seemingly in the lead with Chan Ho Park for that final pitching rotation spot.
No word on if the returning Phils are scheduled to play, but one aspect overlooked: The great Matt Stairs has returned. However, he’s finding himself entrenched in his own battle, staring down the hot-hitting John Mayberry Jr. for that fifth outfielder spot.

Tim MalcolmTim 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.
