Last night was Cliff Lee’s Philadelphia debut against the San Fransisco Giants.  It was a pleasure watching this guy pitch.  He threw nothing but strikes and ended up striking out 6.  He threw a complete game making this game the 3rd game in his last 4 that he has gone 9 innings.  Lee had a no hitter going into the 6th.  Werth hit a HR in the 2nd to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead.  After that point, the Phillies struggled to get runners in scoring position home until Werth batted in 2 more runs in 7th.

It was good to see the Phillies snap that 2-game losing streak.  The Phillies have been so hot that you expect them to win every night.  If they lose two in a row, you scratch you head and ask what’s wrong with this team.  Shane Victorino sat this one out, but Ben Fransisco played well in his spot going 1 for 4 with an RBI.

I’m off to the Eagles training camp at Lehigh University now.  I’ll try to snap some photos and give you my first-hand impressions when I get back.
