We did scream “Rauuuuuul!” enough last night. Today, the Phillies hope they scream past the Nationals and earn a four-game road sweep.
Chan Ho Park — coming off some good starts — gets the ball today. The aggressive Park will face the Nationals for the first time this season.
Meanwhile Jordan Zimmermann faces the Phils for the first time in his career. The rookie has had a tough May, notching an ERA of over 8.00 in three starts against Saint Louis, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Your gameday beer: Here’s Magic Hat’s Lucky Kat, an American pale that’s pretty basic by design. Light feel but bitter at the end, it’s perfect with an Italian hoagie on this rainy Sunday.
Go Phillies!
Tim MalcolmTim 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.
