The Phillies were looking to salvage one game against the Blue Jays, but they were unsuccessful. They lost 8-7 and the bullpen and starting pitcher Joe Blanton did not pitch good. John Mayberry Jr., Jayson Werth, Jimmy Rollins, and Greg Dobbs all hit homeruns. That's pretty much all of the positive stuff that came out of this game. I am very crestfallen over this series and they have to bounce back against the Orioles.
UP NEXT
Phillies:There is not much to say about Bastardo's start Saturday against the Red Sox. He allowed three hits, five runs and three walks in just one inning. He pitched just one inning not because he struggled, but because of a 1 hour, 35 minute rain delay. It was too long a wait to send Bastardo back to the mound, so the Phillies had to use their bullpen for the remaining eight innings. Bastardo had pitched much better in his previous two starts when he allowed a combined three runs in 11 innings against the Padres and Dodgers. I think some of the teams are figuring out Bastardo because in his first two starts nobody had ever seen him before and now there is somewhat of a book on him.
Orioles:Hill was less than stellar in his last start. The left-hander went four innings, giving up five hits and four earned runs in the Orioles' 8-4 win over the Braves Saturday. He had issues with his curveball early, which led to three walks in 19 batters faced. He did record one strikeout in the no-decision. Hill has potenial to be a decent player in this league but it doesn't seem like he can put it all together.
Raul On DL
I'm sure you all know by now that Raul Ibanez was put on the 15 day disabled list with a strained groin. The Phillies will platoon outfielders John Mayberry, Matt Stairs, and Greg Dobbs. Mayberry will most likely play against left-handers, Stairs will play against hard throwing right handers, and Dobbs will play against pitchers that mix up there pitches and sinker ballers.
