Milwaukee Brewers (44-52) at Philadelphia Phillies (43-54)
Marco Estrada (0-4, 4.10) vs. Vance Worley (5-6, 3.82)
Time: 1:05, Citizens Bank Park
TV: CSN
Weather: Mostly Sunny, 92
Media: Twitter and Facebook
Another day, another unbelievable comeback. The Phillies will go for the sweep this afternoon.
Vance Worley’s last start can be summed up by one bad inning. Worley allowed a five-spot in the sixth inning against the San Francisco Giants. He made one bad mistake to Brandon Crawford, which turned out to be the game. Worley is still having a fine year, and has minimized talks of a sophomore slump.
Marco Estrada spent some of the season in the bullpen. As a starter this season, he has struggled, going 0-4 with a 4.45 ERA. He was placed on the disabled list in June, but has been a little better since his return. In his last four starts, he has had a quality start or better. His strikeout totals have been off the charts recently, fanning 45 in 24.2 innings.
Your gameday...

On this day eight years ago, Phillies Nation was born. I was jealous of my roommate’s obsession with Sons of Sam Horn and wanted a similar home for Phillies fans. Mostly I wanted one place where I could find all my Phillies information. But at least part of me was inspired by Eric Milton’s excellence. Here is Phillies Nation’s first post:

Six years, $144 million. That’s $24 million per year for Cole Hamels, the Phillies’ third $20-plus million pitcher and their fourth player making an eight-figure salary.
Conventional wisdom is that this move cripples the Phillies financially. They’re right up against the luxury tax this season and, with Hamels’ contract, have just under $140 million committed to nine players...

It is officially a streak – the Phillies have won 4 games in a row and all 4 came during their final at-bat. In the 3-game sweep of the Brewers, every game also ended in the exact same score, 7-6.
Tuesday’s improbable win included a 6-run rally in the 8th inning which was started by a 2-run homer from 2nd back-up catcher, Erik Kratz. To that point, Kratz had exactly 3 major league...
