Read: Today in the NL East
If it’s any consolation for Mets fans, the Phillies haven’t been playing too well either lately.
Yesterday, Milwaukee’s Dave Bush took a no-hitter into the eighth inning en route to helping the Brewers beat Philadelphia, 6-1. Ryan Braun and Bill Hall hit home runs for the Brew Crew.
Phils starter Cole Hamels left the game in the fourth inning after taking a line drive off the left shoulder. Hamels was treated with ice and all reports indicate he’ll be fine for his next start.
Philadelphia begins a weekend series tonight against the Marlins in Florida. Brett Myers opposes Josh Johnson.
The Braves, who were off yesterday, kick off a series in Cincinnati against the Reds. Javier Vazquez will get the start for Atlanta. Edinson Volquez goes for Cincinnati.
For those of you going out to Citi Field tonight, I’ll be there as well taking in my first game in the Mets new home. I’d love to meet some of you and maybe even share an adult beverage while we cheer on Johan Santana.
