As for the Phillies, Kyle Kendrick (1-4) will be on the hill tonight. He’s coming off his best start of the season as he threw a shutout on 7 hits with no batters walked.

The Fish are coming off a “franchise best” with 21 wins in a month, but June will definitelly will be different as they will face the Phillies, Red Sox, Rays, Blue Jays, Cards and Braves.
