Spencer Howard made his much-anticipated big-league debut Sunday against the Atlanta Braves and, against one of baseball’s best offenses, showed signs of the ace he could become, but had mixed results.

After playing the best game of their season Friday night, the Phillies (4-4) will host another seven-inning doubleheader Sunday against the NL East rival Atlanta Braves (9-6) with second place in the NL East on the line.

For the first time in Phillies (1-3) franchise history, the team will be playing a doubleheader comprised of two seven inning games. Both games against the New York Yankees (8-1) will be played in a mostly-empty Citizens Bank Park, however, the teams will split home team duties as the Phillies will play the “road” team in the first game and the “home” team for the second. Game one is scheduled to begin at 4:05 with game two starting roughly 35 minutes after game one concludes.

Coming off a seven day break, the Phillies (1-3) bats could not muster enough offense against New York Yankees (8-1) ace Gerrit Cole as they lost the first of a four game series, 6-3 at Yankee Stadium.

The Phillies-Yankees game for Tuesday has been postponed. It will be played as a doubleheader on Wednesday beginning at 4:05 at Citizens Bank Park.

David Montgomery helped to create perhaps the most comfortable, welcoming work environment in professional sports during his decades with the Phillies. And the Phillies are forever playing catch-up on the field because of it.

New Phillie Brad Miller was issued perhaps the most unwanted uniform number in franchise history. He probably won’t wear it for long.

The passing of former Phillies manager Frank Lucchesi is a reminder that the game was much more personal once upon a time.
