Phillies vs Nationals
7:05 PM Nationals Park
MASN-2
Story Lines:
- Phillies have traded away some serious pieces at the trade deadline. Who will be on the field for them tonight?
- Nationals have done the opposite, choosing to stand pat with the team they have.
- A battle of aces, or it would be if Cliff Lee was pitching like his normal self this season.
Pitching Match Up:
- Cliff Lee
- 1-6 with a 3.95 ERA.
- Gave up 12 hits and 6 runs over 7 innings his last start.
- Has given up 15 homeruns this season.
- Stephen Strasburg
- 11-4 with a 2.76 ERA.
- Gave up 1 run over 7 innings, while striking out 11 his last time out.
- Has given up 10 homeruns this season.
- Juan Pierre
- Batting .400 against Strasburg lifetime.
- The only guy I'm sure will be in the outfield tonight for the Phillies.
- Michael Morse
- Batting .358 against Lee lifetime.
- Hit 3 homeruns and drove in 9 runs last week.
- Beastmode is back!
- Get to Lee Early. Don't let him get any sort of confidence in the first few innings.
- Quick Innings. Don't make Strasburg work longer than he has to in any innings. NO errors.
- Statement Game. Time to show everyone why the team didn't need to make any deadline moves.
