It seemed Brett Myers has finally found his groove; at least in the minor leagues.  The twenty-seven-year-old has been had some impressive outings since his demotion on July 1st, going 1-2 with a 3.10 ERA between Triple & Double A.  In his last start against the Akron Aeros, he allowed two runs in eight innings while taking the loss.  More importantly, he established he found his command, only walking two while striking out ten.

It’s exactly what the Phillies management was hoping for, as Myers will be recalled to pitch on July 23rd against the Mets.  Myers will make one more start this Friday night at Lehigh Valley, before joining the team in Flushing. 

Saying July 23rd will be a make or break day for Myers is an understatement.  Myers needs a good outing to build some confidence and once again realize he’s a starting pitcher.  It’s bigger for the Phillies, given the current state of their rotation.  With the recent performances by Adam Eaton, and not nuch available via trade (at least to the Phillies liking), they need him to fill a big void.

Keep an eye on Myers in the first inning, as that’s been his biggest problem this season.  Opponents are batting .351 against him and he’s it’s where he’s surrendered 10 of his Major League-leading 24 home runs.
