David Phelps was originally put into the rotation in place of Henderson Alvarez in the beginning of the season. Since Alvarez's return, Phelps has remained in the rotation over Tom Koehler, who was put into the bullpen until Jarred Cosart's injury. In Phelps's last start against the Braves, he pitched six innings only giving up one earned run in a no decision.
Chase Anderson has yet to get a win this year at 0-1. During his last start in Philadelphia, Anderson pitched five and a third innings with only one earned run.
6-5
