Preview of today's game

Great pitching match-up today between the Phils and Rockies!

Happ (7-2, 2.97 ERA) vs. Jorge De La Rosa (9-7, 4.68 ERA).

It may appear Philly has the upper hand, but check out De La Rosa’s July #’s:

5-0 with a 2.50 ERA! In fact, after beginning the season 0-6, he’s gone 9-1 since June 5th !

The Phils have faced him once this year, it was April 11th, De La Rosa’s 1st '09 outing. They pounded him for 5 runs in 4 2/3 innings, but he’s obviously improved since.

Should be interesting to see which De La Rosa shows up and which Phillies team appears: the June squad of the last few games or the invincible July team.
