Comcast Sportsnet
Quite a performance from Jerad Eickhoff, who tossed seven scoreless innings as the Phillies completed a sweep with a 3-0 win.
Eickhoff was a 15th-round selection by the Texas Rangers in the 2011 draft and was part of the Cole Hamels trade in July. The rookie right-hander was making his eighth career start on Thursday afternoon and he used an excellent curve ball to strike out 10 and allow just four hits.
With the threat of bad weather this evening the game was moved from its original 7 p.m. start time. We'd have to file this under Not Quite a Capacity Crowd:
* Reporter Gregg Murphy:
"Where else do you want to celebrate your bachelorette party than Citizens Bank Park?"
Well, Gregg, I'm not a woman, nor have I ever been to a bachelorette party. But I've got to figure my answer to that question is anywhere else on planet Earth?
* Couple of Matt Stairs Moments I'd like to mention.
On guessing wrong on a pitch
"Next thing you know, you're popping it up and 'aww, man!'"
On how quickly the game was going in the early innings
"At P.F. Chang's, we're going to have an early dinner!"
On.....something
"No-man land....that no-man area.....what is it?"
Play-by-play man Tom McCarthy: "no-man's land"
"Thank you."
