Phillies Travel To Milwaukee As Summer Heats Up

The Philadelphia Phillies are now 37-31 as they head to Milwaukee to face the National League Central-leading Brewers. The Brewers have a pretty good starting pitching rotation, as a matter of fact, the three starting pitchers the Phillies will face this weekend in Milwaukee have a combined ERA of 2.44.

The first guy the Phillies will see throws 100 MPH + on average and leads the league in strikeouts with 116, "the Miz", Jacob Misiorowski. He’s very good, and his best pitch is his fastball. Hopefully the Phillies can catch up to it.

The Phillies team batting average is .228 while the Brewers team average is .254. Ever since Don Mattingley took over for Rob Thompson the Phillies have only lost two series. Let’s see how the Phillies match up against the first place Brewers!

The history of Cape May County predates the formation of the United States of America by about 100 years as it was one of the first counties established in what was originally known as the West New Jersey Provence. Cape May County's historical records go back as far as 1685 and the County was originally established in 1692. Cape May County has been a huge part of my life and that of my family's for decades, so I wanted to share with you my favorite aspects of the southern most County in the state of New Jersey.
