So it's a small sample size, but Michael Stutes threw a 1-2-3 eighth inning in his debut last night in Arizona. Good work! Now make sure that you stick around, kid.
The Phillies' offense, on the other hand, continued to be dull. Ian Kennedy, a brand-new father, pitched one of the best games of his career, holding the Phillies to three hits and zero runs, while striking out 10. Kennedy has, I believe, befuddled the Phillies in the past. For whatever reason, they do not fare well at the ballpark in Phoenix. Cliff Lee gave up four runs, including two homers, in the 4-0 loss. He struck out 12.
