Plenty of baseball to watch today in South Philadelphia as the Phillies play two against the Florida Marlins. Roy Halladay could throw the final pitch of the day (complete game, duh), but it'll be Kyle Kendrick who starts things out.
Kendrick (3-4, 3.47) will take on Elih Villanueva (NR) who will be making his MLB debut for the Marlins. The Phillies always fare well against newbies they've never seen and should destroy the fresh fish, right?
After last night's offensive explosion (5 home runs!), the Phils will look to keep things going this afternoon, but Manuel will manage his lineup, giving Polly, Carlos, and Raul the first game off against the new right-hander. Surely, he wants Chooch catching Halladay in the night cap.
