The Phillies are in the midst of a truly remarkable run of baseball. Today, when Jerome Williams takes the hill in Chicago, he will become the Phillies tenth starting pitcher used in just their nineteenth game this month. Ten pitchers in nineteen games? It sounds impossible but the Phillies refused to back down from a challenge and, by gum, they’ve pulled it off. Take a gander at the Terrific Ten used to accomplish this incredible feat:
| Pitcher | Start Dates | Current Status | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aaron Harang | 7/1 | DL |
| 2 | Chad Billingsley | 7/2, 7/7, 7/12, 7/18 | DL |
| 3 | Adam Morgan | 7/3, 7/8, 7/17, 7/22 | MLB |
| 4 | Kevin Correia | 7/4 | Released |
| 5 | Cole Hamels | 7/5, 7/10, 7/19 | MLB |
| 6 | Sean O’Sullivan | 7/6 | AAA |
| 7 | Severino Gonzalez | 7/9 | AAA |
| 8 | David Buchanan | 7/11, 7/20 | AAA |
| 9 | Aaron Nola | 7/21 | MLB |
| 10 | Jerome Williams | 7/24 | MLB |
Perhaps the most impressive part of this stellar accomplishment is the Phillies got it done without trading a single starting pitcher.
