Philadelphia Phillies have won four of five meetings with the Blue Jays, including two of three from June 25-27, 2010. They nearly added Cole Hamels to that list during Thursday’s 5-2 loss to Boston. He was hit in the glove hand by a liner from Boston’s Adrian Gonzalez and left after four innings. Philadelphia starters were astounding last month, compiling a 1.96 ERA to become the first rotation since the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta in 1992 to go a full month with an ERA under 2.00.
Toronto Blue Jays are 18-20 at Rogers Centre, failing to get back to .500 after losing 6-2 to Pittsburgh on Thursday. Toronto Blue Jays' rotation ranks near the bottom of the majors with a 4.48 ERA, and the starters own a bloated 7.71 ERA while losing eight of 11 at home. Toronto Blue Jays' Ricky Romero can’t be blamed for those pitching issues since he’s in the midst of a dominant stretch. He has won two of his last three starts with a 1.13 ERA, going at least seven innings each time. He tossed a four-hitter in Sunday’s 5-0 win at St. Louis.
