PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — After a woeful 1-6 road trip through New York and Washington, the Phillies are back home tonight to open a six-game homestand with the first of three against the Miami Marlins.
The Phillies are 4-9 here in the early going. That puts them fourth in the five-team National League East. The only team behind them? The Marlins who are really struggling out of gate. They are 3-10 and bring a four-game losing streak into this series opener.
Right-hander Jerome Williams will make his third start of the season for the Phillies. He has gone 0-1 with a 4.
