(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phillies are coming off of a 4-2 series-opener win over the Braves last night, their second consecutive win. They were unable to give Cole Hamels enough runs to give him the win, but did however manage a way to find victory last night. Tonight, Roy Halladay (3-2, 1.95 ERA) will aim […]

The move comes as third baseman Ryan Zimmerman was placed on the 15 day disabled list. Zuckerman quotes Nationals GM Mike Rizzo, Rizzo: "This was expedited by the circumstances […]
The third place New York Mets may be three games over .500, but they have some bad news to break. Righty Mike Pelfrey will undergo Tommy John Surgery, ending his 2012 season prematurely. Pelfrey, 28, was put on the 15-day DL Tuesday afternoon with elbow soreness that was retroactive to April 22nd. Pelfrey made just […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Another game, another rain delay. That's three in the past four games. Halladay got five innings under his belt before the storms came, but barely made it out alive in the first. He allowed two runs to score, one on Zimmerman's sacrifice fly, and another on Espinosa's RBI single. Carlos Ruiz […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson To put it simply, Cole Hamels just didn't have it tonight, and the Nationals took advantage of that.

Posted by Danielle Wilson On this sweltering Wednesday afternoon, the Phillies completed a three-game series in Washington, which was the rubber match of the series following yesterday's 10-2 loss. Roy Oswalt took the bump today against John Lannan, who is notoriously known for hitting just about every batter in the Phils' lineup. He's 0-10 against […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The last time Cliff Lee faced the Nats at Nationals Park, he three-hit them, striking out 12. Jason Marquis has never had much luck against the Phillies, and his 9.67 earned run average against them says it all. The Nationals took the lead early on in the bottom of the third […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Phillies hopped on the train to Washington from New York to take on the Nationals for a three-game series. Roy Halladay who has won his last nine decisions against Washington/Montreal took the mound flashing a 2.58 earned run average. The pesky Nats took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Roy Halladay against the Nationals, sounds like a win already, doesn't it? An extra gift to the Phillies' lineup: John Lannan starting for the Nats. The Phillies did some damage early, starting in the third inning. Shane Victorino gave the Phils a 2-0 lead with a 2-run homer to left field, […]
