A Note for Tonight:

Chase Utley is back in the lineup after a short absence due to the flu. He was available to be a late inning pinch hitter last night if the situation called for it. As you know, it didn’t.

The Phillies cannot afford to lose this game and get swept at home by Milwaukee. Cliff Lee represents their best chance at victory, although he’s going up against a decent pitcher in Marco Estrada.

Since 2012, only 2 SPs in NL have a WHIP below 1.12 and a K/BB ratio above 4.3: Cliff Lee and Marco Estrada, who face each other tonight
