PhilaPhans

The starting pitching has been soooooooooooooooo good.

And now a 10-game homestand: -- 4 vs. the Pirates, who have been second-best team in NL so far -- 3 vs. Rockies, who are awful -- 3 vs. White Sox, who are awful Need Phillies to show us some spark and go 7-3 on this homestand. And if the starting pitching keeps up, they could potentially do even bet...

Not pretty, but better than losing.
Lots to straighten out.

Scott Lauber @ScottLauber With rain in forecast tomorrow in Philadelphia area, the #Phillies will send Taijuan Walker and Orion Kerkering to Clearwater to make minor-league rehab appearances.

Eagles vs. Packers, in São Paulo, Brazil, on Friday, Sept. 6

Tough trip, tough matchup.

Sonny Gray making his first start of the season for St. Louis and will be limited to 65 pitches.

And Merrifield is a dud so far.

TONIGHT

Snell 3 3 3 3 2 5, 72 pitches
Turnbull 6 2 0 0 1 6, 82 pitches

Nice to see 3 hits from Rojas tonight.
Worried we're going to have a Jordan Luplow-Brandon Marsh-Kody Clemens outfield soon.
