Phillies, Braves battle for series victory Sun Jul 10 10:33:29 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - If this series between the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies is any indication of how the rest of the season will go, expect the National League East rivals to battle all the way down to the wire. After needing extra innings to decide the first two contests of this three- game set, the top two teams in the NL battle for a series victory this afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies hold the best record in the majors at 56-34, but own just a 2 1/2-game lead over th
Phillies place All-Star Victorino on DL Fri Jul  8 12:33:59 2011 EST
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Shane Victorino on the 15-day disabled list Friday with a thumb injury. Victorino was injured on Sunday in Toronto when he fell on the turf and appeared to initially hurt his ankle. He remained in the game, but hasn't played since, as the team said there was swelling in his thumb. While the team was in Miami for a series with the Marlins, Victorino flew back to Philadelphia on Tuesday to have his thumb examined. Aft
Braves, Phils battle for NL East supremacy in City of Brotherly Love Fri Jul  8 11:00:02 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - With a dominating starting pitching staff that features three All-Stars, the Philadelphia Phillies seemed as if they would cruise into the All-Star break atop the National League East. The Atlanta Braves can throw a wrench into that plan this weekend however, with the two division rivals set to open a key three-game series tonight at Citizens Bank Park. Philadelphia leads all of baseball with a 55-33 record, but that is only good enough for a 2 1/2-game edge over Atlanta for
NL East: Phillies rotation as good as advertised Wed Jul  6 14:00:05 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - As the league approaches the All-Star break, it is safe to say that the Philadelphia Phillies' plan for 2011 has been executed to perfection so far. The Phillies decided to forego some offense this past winter, allowing outfielder Jayson Werth to leave as a free agent. They instead opted to sign former Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee, putting the southpaw in a "Four Aces" rotation with Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt. That decision by general manger Ruben Amaro Jr. h
Phillies lefty Lee voted NL Pitcher of the Month for June Tue Jul  5 17:26:03 2011 EST
New York, NY (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Phillies left-handed starter Cliff Lee has been named the National League Pitcher of the Month for June. Lee, voted a National League All-Star, finished the season's third month with a 5-0 record and a Major League-low 0.21 earned run average in five outings. He led the senior circuit in victories, placed third in innings pitched (42) and ranked sixth with 29 strikeouts. He also became the first NL starter to toss three straight shutouts since Brando
Phillies recall Mayberry Tue Jul  5 12:01:56 2011 EST
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Phillies have recalled outfielder John Mayberry Jr. from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Mayberry will take the roster spot of pitcher Vance Worley, who was optioned to Lehigh Valley after Monday's win over the Marlins. Worley was sent back to the minors to keep him on his regular rotation, as he will pitch Saturday at Lehigh Valley before a likely recall after the All-Star break. Prior to being recalled for the second time this year, Mayberry was hi
Halladay shines in return to Toronto Sat Jul  2 16:07:44 2011 EST
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - The storyline looked all too familiar -- Roy Halladay throwing a complete game in a win at Rogers Centre. Only this time, Halladay wasn't wearing 'Jays' across his chest, instead helping the Philadelphia Phillies beat Toronto, 5-3, thanks to Chase Utley's go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh inning. After spending his first dozen big league seasons in Toronto, Halladay was dealt to the Phillies in December 2009, and in his first game back the crowd of 44,078 gave
Boston hopes to get run support in finale with Phils Thu Jun 30 10:36:06 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - The Boston Red Sox came into their big interleague series with the Philadelphia Phillies leading the majors in runs scored. That is no longer the case after adding just one run to that total in this series. The Red Sox will try to find some offense and avoid a three-game sweep today in Philadelphia as a pair of aces in Jon Lester and Cole Hamels both go after their 10th victory of the season. Heading into play on Tuesday, Boston led all teams with 409 runs scored, but were sh
Phillies place Madson on DL Tue Jun 28 12:51:58 2011 EST
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Phillies reliever Ryan Madson was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a right hand contusion. The closer has not pitched since June 18 and is 3-1 on the season with a 2.03 earned run average in 31 appearances. He has converted 15 of his 16 save opportunities. With regular closer Brad Lidge still out, lefty Antonio Bastardo will likely become the finisher for the Phils. The move is retroactive to June 19 and the team selected the contr
A's pull away late to beat Phillies Sat Jun 25 21:54:19 2011 EST
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Trevor Cahill was just a little better than Cole Hamels, and the Oakland Athletics pulled away late for a 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Adam Rosales homered while Scott Sizemore drove in the go-ahead run in the fourth inning, helping the A's snap their three-game slide. Oakland scored a total of three runs during the losing streak. The A's scored two of their runs Saturday while Cahill (8-5) was in the game, but it was enough support for the rig
