Phillies at Brewers: May 14th through May 16th

Friday 8:10, Saturday 4:10, Sunday 8:05

Records: Phillies 20-13, 1st Place in NL East (1 game ahead of the Nationals); Brewers 15-19, 3rd Place in NL Central (4½ games behind the Cardinals)

Former Brewers with the Phillies: Nelson Figueroa pitched briefly for the Brew Crew in 2002, and TV broadcaster Gary Matthews served as the team's hitting coach back in 2000. First base coach Davey Lopes managed the Brewers from 2000 until his dismissal 16 games into the 2002 season. His record with the Brewers was 144-195, and his best year was his first, when his team finished in 3rd place in the NL Central.
2004 Bowman Heritage #42 Randy Wolf

Hungry Like the . . . Oh Never Mind: Randy Wolf, tonight's starting pitcher for the Brewers, spent 8 years pitching for the Phillies between 1999 and 2006. Entering the 2010 season, Wolf is 9th all-time on the Phillies' career strikeout list with 971. He's bounced around a little since his time with the Phils, pitching the Dodgers, Padres, Astros, Dodgers again, and now with the Brewers.

Phillies Probables: Jamie Moyer, Joe Blanton, Cole Hamels
Brewers Probables: Randy Wolf, Chris Narveson, Doug Davis
