Tim Wakefield
(5-6, 4.41 ERA)
vs.
Jon Lieber
(8-6, 4.63 ERA)
Guess what? Jon Lieber has given up TWENTY homeruns this year.
In 2004, Lieber was 1-0 with a 4.19 ERA in 3 starts against the Red Sox. Mueller and Millar have enjoyed HUGE success against Lieber, going a combined 24 for 52 against him with 8 extra base hits. Any chance Millar will start tonight with Manny, Ortiz, or Nixon on the bench? No DH this series.
The only Phillie who has EVER faced Wakefield is Ramon E. Martinez, a bench player who is 1-8 this year for the Phillies.
