Phillies hope to end slide this afternoon

Cliff Lee so far  2-1 with a 4.19 ERA

It's Cliff Lee for the Phillies this afternoon, as he looks to plug a hole in the Phillies ship with a two game losing streak on the line today at Citizens Bank Park.

The Phillies lacked an offensive drive last night and ended up on the short end of a 9-0 rout in front of a sold out crowd in South Philly last night.

The Brewers were coming off a sweep by the Nationals in the previous series they were in with the Nats, and that always gives a team a big motivation to do well against their next opponent.

Roy Halladay suffered his first loss of the season after looking extremely sharp in his first couple games. The Phils will face Chris Narveson and the Brew Crew this afternoon.
