A couple of quick talking points to get the day started:

–The struggles of Vance Worley continue in Reading during the second half of the season with another very rocky outing last night in the 12-6 Reading loss.  Worley went 5 innings and gave up 10 runs (5 earned) on 11 hits, including 3 homers.  Since the all star break, Worley is 1-6 with a 7.61 ERA in 9 starts. 

–Huge games for both Travis D’Arnaud and Jim Murphy who had 4 hits apiece in the 9-3 Lakewood victory last night.  After a slow start to the season, D’Arnaud had hit .304 with 5 HR 32 RBI and 7SB since the all-star break.  It will be interesting to see where the Phils decide to start him next year.

–Six shutout innings from Phils 12th round pick Nicholas Hernandez (8-1) who gave up just 2 hits and struck out 8 in the 4-1 Williamsport win last night.  Hernandez lowered his ERA to an impressive 2.70 in his 15 starts.
