Tonight's pitchers
Phillies RHP Roy Halladay (8-6, 2.43) vs. Blue Jays RHP Jesse Litsch (0-1, 6.75)
Who's hot
Jayson Werth: The rightfielder went 3-for-4 yesterday and is now 6-for-7 in his last two games.
Who's not
Shane Victorino: The centerfielder went 1-for-5 with a run and an RBI yesterday, but has only eight hits in his last 50 at-bats.
Three matchups to watch
Halladay vs. Blue Jays: Although the G20 Summit ruined Halladay's homecoming, forcing the Phillies to host a "road" series with the Blue Jays, the veteran righthander still gets a chance to face the team whom he played 13 seasons for.
Phillies vs. Litsch: Litsch's ERA is misleading, as he is making only his third start since returning from elbow surgery. After allowing seven runs in his debut, he held the Giants to three hits in seven scoreless innings.
Phillies vs. momentum: The Phillies have won three straight games just once since May 17 and have not won five straight since the second week of the season. Yesterday's win over the Indians gave them three straight.
Upcoming probables
Tomorrow at Blue Jays: Phillies LHP Cole Hamels (6-5, 3.75) vs. Blue Jays RHP Shaun Marcum (3.24)
