Philadelphia Phillies (58-42) at San Francisco Giants (56-46)
Cliff Lee (7-9, 3.14 ERA) vs. Ryan Sadowski (2-3, 4.81 ERA)
Time: 10:05 p.m at AT&T Park
Weather: Partly Cloudy and Windy, 60

Tonight’s the night Cliff Lee will be making his much anticipated Phillies debut. He’ll also try to halt the Phillies two game skid.
The reigning American League Cy Young winner is having a terrific season with a 3.14 earned run average and 1.30 WHIP in 152 innings with the Tribe. He had a 7-9 record, but lacked run support. The Phillies failed to support their pitchers over the last two games. They’ve only scored two runs in last two games, very uncharacteristic for the Phillies.
Ryan Sadowski started his Major League career by throwing 13 consevutive scoreless innings. Since, he has allowed 13 earned runs in the last 11.1 innings he has pitched. However, he has pitched well at AT&T Park. His ERA at home is 1.50 in 12 innings.
Your Gameday Beer- Konigshoeven Blond Trappist Ale
Tonight’s beer kicks off our European tour and comes from the De Koningshoeven Brewery, a Dutch Trappist brewery. It is the only producer of Trappist beer outside of Belgium. Run inside an abbey, the monks get the water for the beer from five 200-metre deep wells on the grounds. La Trappe Blond is one of their many offerings. This Pale Ale is bitter and sweet like fruit candy, but less sweet by comparison to the more popular Leffe Blonde. – By Brian
GO PHILLIES!

This guy is a freakin beast. Glad the Offense woke up, but with him in there, we only needed 2 runs. GREAT start in Phillies Pinstripes. Ashburn for Lee.

Nice outing by Lee. In, out, Up, down. A pleasure watching him pitch. Man, Francisco was driving the ball. A tough one tomorrow, but that’s when this team comes up big!

That was so great. He can really move the fastball around and locate it. That was diesel. CG 4 hits 1 run, scored 1 run and got 2 hits of his own. No hitter into the 6th, shutout into the 8th.
That was quite impressive.

Brian,
Don’t worry ’bout Florida. Phils will play them in a couple of weeks. They’ll be behind by double digits by the time the Phils are through with that series. There’s not stoppin’ this train to the NL East Championship. Express all the way. Just have to take it one day at a time.

Got down to Chickie & Pete’s for the game tonight, loved getting to hear people cheer each strikeout & double play. I loved this deal when it first happened, and was trying not to get my expectations too high for his first start but man did he dominate.
