Phillies (48-30) vs. Athletics (35-43), 1:35 p.m. -- WPHL
Starting Pitchers
Phillies: Roy Halladay. Halladay (9-3) will try to become the first pitcher in the National League to win his 10th game and only the third in MLB. Halladay's 119 strikeouts leads the NL.
Athletics: Josh Outman. Outman (3-1) is coming off of a 7-3 win over the Mets on Tuesday. He allowed just two runs (one earned) off of four hits in six innings. Outman was actually drafted by the Phillies in the 10th round in 2005.
