Know Your Foe #32: City Of Brotherly Love Hosts Rockies

By Russ Oates Updated

Philadelphia Phllies (49-46, 2nd NL East, 7 GB, 3.5 WCGB)

Last Series vs. Rockies: 1-1 series split.*

*Second game of series was postponed and will be played on 9/2.

Kyle Kendrick and Greg Smith allowed four and five runs respectively in the first game, but it was Manuel Corpas's collapse in the ninth inning that put four runs on the board for the Phillies. On May 12, the Rockies won 4-3 in 10 innings on a Miguel Olivo homer.

Last Two Series Results: 1-3 series loss to Chicago; 1-3 series loss to St. Louis

The Phillies are 2-6 in their last eight and 4-6 in their last 10. Did you know that on July the winner and the loser of that game both had the last name Carpenter? I wonder how many times that has happened. Before last night's 2-0 shutout of the Cubs, the Phillies had dropped four straight.

Roy Halladay took the loss in his last start, allowed two homers, and gave up six runs.

Friday-Monday: 4-game series at Citizen Bank Park
