Dillon Gee, RH (11-4, 3.92) |
Cliff Lee, LH (13-7, 2.82) |
Scouting Report:
METS: Mixing his pitches better than in previous starts, Gee held the Padres to one run over 6 2/3 innings on Wednesday in San Diego. He'll need more of the same vs. the Phillies, who tagged Gee for four runs in a five-out relief appearance on April 29.
PHILLIES: Lee continues to deliver for the Phillies. He allowed three hits, two runs, two walks and struck out seven in a victory Wednesday over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park. Lee is a big reason the Phillies have the best record in baseball.

Jonathon Niese, LH (11-10, 4.05) |
Vance Worley, RH (8-1, 2.76) |
Scouting Report:
METS: Ten hits resulted in three runs last Tuesday for Niese, who is winless over his past two outings — both them quality starts. Niese is 2-2 with a 3.42 ERA in four starts this year against the Phillies, but 0-2 with a 6.97 ERA at Citizens Bank Park.
PHILLIES: Worley was on his way toward rebounding from the second-worst start of his career when rain cut short his start Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park. He allowed one hit and no runs in three innings.
| Wed., 24th Aug., 1:05 PM EDT Citizen Bank Park |
Mike Pelfrey, RH (6-10, 4.61) |
Kyle Kendrick, RH (7-5, 3.24) |
Scouting Report:
METS: Pelfrey had a second short start in a row, going five innings and giving up four runs (three earned) against the Brewers on Friday. He is 0-2 with a 7.58 ERA in four starts against the Phillies this season.
PHILLIES: Kendrick pitched six innings on short notice Friday in a loss to the Nationals. He replaced Roy Oswalt, who was scratched because of a rain delay, and allowed only two runs. He had the win until the Phillies blew the game in the ninth.
