The Phillies will take the field tonight with a winning record for the first time this season. And who better than Cliff Lee to lead them another game over the .500 mark. He’ll get the ball for the Phils tonight, and his last start was also against the Brewers–he gave up three runs over seven innings.
Relief pitcher Alfredo Figaro will start for the Brewers, as he’s taking the place of injured Marco Estrada in the rotation. He also saw the Phillies last week, and he pitched 3.1 scoreless innings.
Lee might have some trouble with Ryan Braun tonight, as Braun is 9-19 against the Phillies lefty. He is, however nursing a thumb injury.
Lineup: M. Young 3B, Mayberry CF, Rollins SS, Howard 1B, Dom LF, Delmon RF, Kratz C, Galvis 2B, Lee P
GAMEDAY BEER: Yuengling Lager
You know it, and you know it well. You call for it simply by saying “I’ll have a lager.” It’s a staple of the Philadelphia region and really never lets you down. From time to time I’ll order one if a beer list isn’t tickling my fancy. It’s just there. It never wows you. It’s like the Juan Pierre of beers. He won’t blow you away, doesn’t hit for power, but always gives a decent showing when you need him. -Pat Gallen
GO PHILLIES!
