Eaton Takes Turn in Atlanta, Tries Not to Suck in the First

Share

Sorry, I was just mesmerized watching Big Daddy Graham on Daily News Live telling us about his incredible talents in the fields of bodysurfing and staring at women on the beach without getting caught by his wife. I almost forgot the Phillies/Braves game thread.

Eaton hasn't earned a win since June 3rd and will try to get the Phils their first series victory in their last seven tries. Adam has the same feelings about his performances as we do, "It would be nice to actually not give up a couple of runs in the first inning," he said. "It's happened in four starts."

Jorge Campillio will make his ninth start of the year after seeing some time as a reliever early on. Campillo has real nice numbers at 2.54 ERA, 53 Ks, and a 1.02 WHIP. The Phils struggled mightily against the American League but will look to continue their recent dominance against the Bravos tonight.

In other news, Brett Myers is making his start tonight in Allentown. The over/under on Myers + Eaton homers given up in the first inning stands at 1.5.
