The second round of interleague begins a series later than everyone else for the Phillies, and it's no easy task. Boston rolls into town with the best record in the American League, and they've won 12 out of their last 16 games. They're not without problems though; Ortiz and Matsuzaka are still on the DL, and Manny Ramirez might miss some more games with a hamstring injury.

With Cole Hamels on the mound tonight, the Phillies need to get the series off to a fast start. Their ace is on the mound, and this might be the most winnable game of the three game set. With the exception of Lugo, they haven't seen him yet, so Hamels should be able to keep them off balance.
