A Note for Tonight:

Big comeback win last night, but this is a bigger – a series win is at stake and a winning west coast road trip, which would be a huge confidence boost coming back to Philadelphia. But first, beat Brandon McCarthy who has had an awful start to his season. These are the must-win games where the Phillies have to beat up on inferior opponents. With a victory, they can finish the road swing 6-4.

Lineup:

Revere CF / Rollins SS / Utley 2B / Howard 1B / Byrd RF / Brown LF / Nieves C / Asche 3B / Burnett P
