Watching right-hander Shawn Hill (left) mow down Phillies batters for the first five innings, I'm reminded of a June 11 game last season at RFK Stadium. Then: Day game. Phils-Nats. Hill-Cole Hamels. Hill, with a dominating sinker, shut out the Phillies for seven innings, allowing only two hits and striking out four in a 6-0 Nationals win.
Now: Day game. Phils-Nats. Hill-Hamels. Phillies down 4-0 in the sixth. Charlie Manuel just took Hamels out of the game after he allowed three runs in the sixth. Phillies have three hits off Hill, who has gotten 10 ground-ball outs and two double plays with that dominating sinker.
Cue the Twlight Zone music.
