Master-Lee

"I guess you're going to see more than one inning," Christine told her early-to-bed, early-to-rise husband last night after Cliff Lee quickly dispatched the first three batters he faced as a Phillie.

"He's going to outhit the entire Giants lineup," I joked after Lee got his first hit as a Phillie in the 4th inning.

Two innings later, I was finally able to go to sleep after Juan Uribe sliced one down the line, breaking up a no-hitter in the 6th inning.

What a performance for the Phils big midseason acquisition. Lee tossed a 109-pitch complete game, with just one run on four hits and a walk. He struck out six. Oh, after I fell asleep, he added another double, so while he didn't outhit the Giants, he did halve them. Pretty darn good debut. Phillies 5, Giants 1. And, he's pretty smart - going the distance and avoiding Brad Lidge.

Hopefully, his former teammate, Victor Martinez, has an equally memorable debut for the Red Sox tonight against the Orioles. He's batting third, playing first base. He struck out in his first at-bat. Also making his first start for the Red Sox is prospect Josh Reddick in right field. The Sox spotted Josh Beckett a 1-0 lead in the 1st.

Phillies still playing on the late coast.
