PHILLIES PESTERED BY NATS.
The Phillies couldn’t find their stroke last night against Livan Hernandez. Strange.
The Phillies struggle against finesse pitchers. Hernandez never hit 90 mph on the radar and most of this stuff was in the high 70s, low 80s.
Hamels also struggled. He gave up three runs over five innings, walking four while striking out five.
We should know later today if Polanco can play with his sports hernia or if he’ll be placed on the disabled list.
Do you think Ruben Amaro is on the lookout for help at third base?
