POSITIVES:
-Hamels’ return: Cole Hamels pitched amazing in his return to action on Friday, going 6 strong innings, giving up 2 runs and striking out 6. He isn’t back to regular form but he is on the right pace.

-Cardinals Sweep: Yea it was only two games but they won both games on the road. They scored 16 runs in both games combined, hitting 4 homers with 2 coming from Jayson Werth.

-Chan Ho Park: He pitched an amazing game versus the Mets but couldn’t get any run support or defense as the Phillies fell 1-0. He went 6 innings giving up no runs on 1 hit and striking out 5.

NEGATIVES:
-Mets Sweep: After taking both in St. Louis, the Phillies fell both times to New York, allowing them to eventually gain momentum and take first in the division by half a game.

-Lidge: He has been terrible in the pen. In 2 games and 2 innings, he’s given up 4 runs (3 earned) and only struck out 3. He has also recorded no saves.

-Rollins: He vowed to bat .400 in May and is only 6-28 so far, a measly .222. I hope he picks his game up because as our lead off guy, he has to be getting on base a lot more.
