Gamenight: Marlins (59-53) At Phillies (61-50)

After a 5-1 road trip and a day off, the Phillies get back to business, and a big way: The second-place Marlins come in for a battle at the top.

Moyer The Magnificent: Jamie Moyer is 10-0 against the Marlins, in 10 starts. This season he’s beaten them three times.

Just Joshing: The Phils, however, face Josh Johnson, who took the Phils to the cleaners last time he faced them. He gave up just two runs in 6.2 innings, a win for the Fish. The Marlins are 4-0 in Johnson’s starts.

The Jake: If one Marlins hitter can beat Moyer, it’s Mike Jacobs. The left-handed hitter is .391 with five homers and 10 RBI against Moyer for his career, including two homers this year.

Phillies: Jamie Moyer (10-6) 3.79 ERA
Marlins:

Josh Johnson (1-0) 4.18 ERA

Your gamenight beer: The Phils are back home, and I’m going home too â€” for the beer selection, that is. Here is Rowhouse Red from the Philadelphia Brewing Co, This farmhouse ale has a familiar and easy taste. Which makes sense. A rowhome is familiar, it’s cozy, it’s home. Those of us who grew up in a rowhome (Port Richmond, represent!) would understand.

Go Phillies!

Tim 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.
