Game 75 Phils @ Cardinals

Cliff Lee pitched a shut out last time out. Can he do it again?
Last pitcher for the Phils who had back to back shut outs was Corey Lidle In 2004.

Started off a little funky, Lee put seven straight balls up there to start the game.
Was a pitcher's duel for the first four innings until Rollins led off the fourth with a homer and later that inning Howard added a 2-run homer.

Would be all Lee needed.
They added a run in the ninth after Victorino tripled but it didn't matter.
It was Lee's second shut out in a row.
His last four games...
4-0
33 innings
19 hits
6 walks
24 K's
ONE EARNED RUN

Amazing.
He now has three shut outs and an additional combined one with Madson.

Mood, they are 10-2 last 12, 10 shut outs in 75 games. Matching the same in 1964. Season high 19 over .500. Best record in baseball. That's my mood.
My grandfather, who I used to watch games with way back when always complained that pitchers look miserable even when they are pitching a great game, they never smile. Now Cliff Lee he clearly looks like he is having funon the mound.

Win 4-0
Streak 2 wins
Last ten 8-2
Record 47-28
