8:05pm - Miller Park, Milwaukee, WI
Cliff Lee, LHP (7-2, 2.65) v. Manny Parra, RHP (10-10, 6.42)
The Phillies will send Cliff Lee to the mound against the Brewers' Manny Parra in the second game of the series. Lee is in the midst of an inconsistent stretch for the Phillies and will look to get back in his groove against Milwaukee. Parra will oppose Lee and is a solid pitcher in the middle of a terrible season. Despite racking up ten wins, Parra has a very high ERA and has struggled of late. However, he is still fully capable of dominating an opponent. The Phillies will need Cliff Lee to be strong in this game, and carry them to another victory.

Cliff Lee has pitched better of late, but has still not been as dominant as he was in his first five starts as a Phillie. He will look to work himself into playoff shape tonight as he takes on a team that has not seen very much of, in the Brewers. For his career, Lee has decent numbers against them. As usual, the key for Lee will be to use all of his pitches effectively and hit his spots early. If he can do that, he should be able to keep an aggressive Brewers lineup off balance and off the score board.
The Brewers will be sending Manny Parra to the mound tonight. Parra was once a bright young pitching star in the making. However, he has struggled through one of his worst seasons as a professional. Despite his bad numbers this season, he is still a very capable pitcher and the Phillies would be wise to take this opponent seriously. They will want to be patient with the often wild Parra, and if possible, build up his pitch count to get into the Brewers' pen early.
After a big win last night, the Phillies will want to build some momentum behind their co-ace, Cliff Lee. As Lee looks to get on track for his first playoffs, the Phillies offense will try to continue their recent success. With just over a week left in the season, now is the time for the Phillies to gain some confidence and synergy for bigger things in October.
