Phillies Look to Get on Track Against Equally Miserable Cubs

8/6/2013

1 Comment

 
The Phillies will open a three game set with the Cubs tonight at Citizens Bank Park, as they look to end a five game losing streak. The Phillies will face off against an equally bad team who is also in a major slump, as the Cubs have gone 1-7 in their past eight.
Domonic Brown will return to the Phillies lineup after hitting the DL with a concussion. Hopefully Brown will provide some of the offense the team clearly lacks, upon his return. To make room for Brown, the Phillies designated Laynce Nix for assignment. Man am I glad we kept him over Nate Schierholtz...

Kyle Kendrick will take the hill for the Phillies as they look to kick the series off with a win and possibly set themselves up to snap a streak of five consecutive series lost. Kendrick was rocked by the Giants in his previous start and has appeared to have traded Roy Halladay's pitching arm back to him around the All Star Break, as his ERA has steadily risen to 4.29. Following a day off, we can only hope the Phillies were able to track down their missing bats and provide some run support tonight.

The Cubs will throw Edwin Jackson out on the mound, in hopes of snapping their own streak of misery. Jackson is 7-11 this season with a 4.65 ERA.

Look for Darin Ruf to be the Phillies only consistent base runner tonight, as he enters the game with a streak of 32 straight games reaching base. So strap yourselves in folks, tonight we may be reminded of what a Little League game looks like, except at the Little League World Series, those kids are actually good.
