LEE TAKES CHARGE. PENCE, MAYBERRY, RUIZ AND VICTORINO BRING THE OFFENSE.
That’s baseball. One night you lose badly and the next night you take it out on your next opponent.
Cliff Lee made all his pitches last night. At 14-7 with a 2.71 ERA, he’s making his mark. Last night he past his all-time strikeouts record. He’s a contender to the Cy Young Award.
The combination of Hunter Pence and John Mayberry put some numbers on the board. Ruiz and Victorino pitched in.
With Rollins on the DL, and Utley and Howard struggling a bit, it’s good to see others stepping up.
With 36 games to play, the Phillies will need help from every player.
