A Note for Tonight:

Hey, it’s Mike Trout! He’ll make his CBP debut tonight, bringin’ it back to the hometown (almost). Lets not only keep an eye on Trout, but on Albert Pujols as well. He’s made a nice comeback this season after dealing with foot injuries.

And hello again, Raul Ibanez. He’s back for the first time since leaving after the 2011 season. The 41-year-old is struggling. He’s hitting just .139 this season and his job is in jeopardy.

This is a very good test for the Phillies because they’ve been downright awful in interleague play recently.

Lineup:

Revere CF / Rollins SS / Utley 2B / Howard 1B / Byrd RF / Brown LF / Ruiz C / Asche 3B / Lee P
