Wasn’t it just a couple of weeks ago that we were grumbling about whether we were getting our money’s worth from Cliff Lee?
Yes, baseball is a long season.
And Lee is rounding into form quite nicely.
He has now pitched consecutive shutouts, last night blanking the Cardinals on just six hits.
Oddly enough, Lee was a bit shaky in the bottom of the first, starting the game with seven straight balls.
But Lee got a double-play to end that threat and cruised from that point, allowing just one Cardinals runner to reach third base, and again being rescued by a double play.
Lee’s ERA now sits at a sizzling 2.87 and raised his record to 8-5.
Ryan Howard continues to torture his home town Cardinals, rocketing another ball the other way into the left field seats for a home run. The Phils also got a homer from Jimmy Rollins to beat former Phil Kyle Lohse.
Don’t worry about Lee. He once again looks like the dominant pitcher that captured the hearts of Phils’ fans before being shown the door. The decision to bring him back proved one of the most popular in Philly sports history.
You might say Lee provided an answer to those who were starting to criticize his work.
Blank you.
