The Phillies seek to avenge their 2007 NLDS loss via sweep to the Colorado Rockies, when they open the 2009 best-of-five NLDS series in Philadelphia this afternoon.
Reigning AL Cy Young winner, Cliff Lee (14-13, 3.22 ERA) takes the mound for the Phillies, vs. Ubaldo Jimenez (15-12, 3.47 ERA) for the Rockies.
Lee has faced the Rockies only once in his career, beating them 3-1 on Aug. 6. He allowed one run and six hits, striking out nine in seven innings.
Jimenez held the Phillies to one run in 6 1/3 innings in the clincher of the ’07 series, but is 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA in two regular-season starts against them.
