Lee's Debut Moved Up

Cliff Lee was originally scheduled to pitch tomorrow versus San Francisco's ace, Tim Lincecum. The Phillies had other plans as they wanted to debut him tonight and have Joe Blanton pitch Saturday versus the young phenom. Also Cole Hamels will pitch in Sunday's game in place of Jamie Moyer.

Lee is 12-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 22 starts in his career versus the NL. He is also 2-0 with a 1.20 ERA vs. the Giants. He will face Ryan Sadowski (2-3, 4.81 ERA) tonight. Game time is 10:15 ET.

Remaining Probables:
Saturday: Joe Blanton (7-4, 4.11); Tim Lincecum (11-3, 2.30)
Sunday: Cole Hamels (7-5, 4.42); Barry Zito (6-10, 4.54)
