A Note for Today:

All eyes are on Jimmy Rollins tonight as he makes his return to the city of brotherly love, where he spent 15 years of his career.  Jimmy will be leading off for the Dodgers in return fashion.

Jerome Williams will get the start on the mound to eat up some innings.  At this point in time Jerome is just that, an inning eater, perhaps until the rosters expand in September.  Williams has pitched 11.1 innings in his last 3 games, giving up 20 hits and 13 earned runs.

Jeff Francouer will get the start in right field and clean-up in the order, while Darrin Ruf will get the spot start in left field.

The Phillies are currently still the hottest team since baseball, touting a 8-2 record in the last 10 games played.  First pitch at 7:05 EST.

Lineup:

Hernandez 2B, Herrera CF, Franco 3B, Francouer RF, Howard 1B, Ruf LF, Galvis SS, Ruiz C, Williams RHP
