Cole Hamels, with a great start tonight, can go below three with his ERA. Think about that for a second. This guy as come full circle after an unbelievable 2008 and then a terrible 2009 season. It’s been quite the turnaround for him and a win tonight means sole possession of first place, still. The Phils are counting on this guy to be just as good as he’s been the last two-plus months.
On the other end, Adalberto Mendez. He stifled the Phillies in his first career start a week ago, then hurt himself and had to leave the game. Â Mendez throws heat, but they’ve now seen him. No time to let up, especially with the Braves on their heels playing the Nats tonight. A win is good.
Tonight’s lineup: Victorino CF, Polanco 3B, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Werth RF, Ibanez LF, Ruiz C, Valdez SS, Blanton P.
Your Gameday Beer – Sierra Nevada Summerfest
This Northern California summer brew is a traditional lager but its summer flavors make it almost like a Pils. It incorporates a hoppy aroma with hints of citrus, wheat, and light caramel taste. It has a light body too which makes it an easy-drinker. Likewise, you should eat something light with it, like sushi. – By Brian
