Adam Eaton should hopefully be able to have another decent outing. This lineup hasn't had much success against him, and we can only hope he keeps that up. After Kendrick's bad outing on Wednesday, this team could use a strong start from the rotation. Even though the entire bullpen got a rest yesterday, it would be great if they weren't used much again today.

Anaheim is a beatable team. They're very good on the road, but sometimes they have trouble scoring. If the Phillies find a way to put a dent in their strong pitching, they should be able to win the series and get back on track. Things don't get any easier after this, so let's finish the homestand on a better note and hit the road.
