Cole Hamels gave the Phillies just what they needed, eight innings and giving up on two runs. Of course though, when the pitching was having a good day, the offense was off. The Phillies offense only got one run. The Phillies lost 2-1. It was there sixth consecutive loss of the season. They should be getting their closer Brad Lidge back on Wednesday which should help a lot.
Ryan Howard was not in today's lineup because he was sent back to the hospital with flu like smyptoms for the second straight day. They are uncertain whether he wil travel with the team to St.Petersburg.
UP NEXT
Phillies:Moyer went 1-2 with a 3.77 ERA in his previous five starts before he allowed 10 hits, six runs, two home runs and two walks in six innings Wednesday against the Blue Jays. But Moyer had some success against the Rays last October in Game 3 of the World Series. He allowed just five hits and three runs and struck out five in 6 1/3 innings. Moyer is looking to tie Bob Gibson on the all-time wins list.
Rays:The Phillies will be facing the Rays rookie sensation David Price had a lot to be proud of in his last start against the Rockies. Price tossed a career-high seven innings, threw his sliders and fastballs for strikes, found the feel for his changeup and didn't walk a batter. Price had never thrown more than 5 2/3 innings. Unfortunately, Price also picked up the loss as he allowed five runs, which included two home runs, on 10 hits. Price faced his next opponent, the Phillies, last year in the 2008 World Series. In two relief appearances, Price gave up two runs, one earned, in 3 1/3 innings.
