Watch Milwaukee Brewers vs Philadelphia Phillies live streaming mlb audio video feed radio commentary online coverage espn 360 gamecast 19 april 2011. Game Review: The Philadelphia Phillies' relievers could use a break following Monday's lengthy series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. Reigning NL Cy Young winner Roy Halladay could certainly make that happen.
With just nine innings pitched from April 10-17 thanks to back-to-back complete games by Halladay (2-0, 1.23 ERA) and Cliff Lee, the Phillies' bullpen logged five innings in Monday's 6-3, 12-inning loss after Joe Blanton left after giving up two runs over seven.
After Saturday's game against Florida was postponed and the Phillies (10-5) decided to stay on rotation with Blanton starting Monday, Halladay will pitch on his normal five days' rest.

One of the best conditioned pitchers in the majors, Halladay likely could have gone in the series opener. In his last start, he allowed two ninth-inning runs but struck out the final two batters on six pitches to record his first complete game of the season in Wednesday's 3-2 win at Washington.
"He beared down at the end. He reached back and got something. Good pitchers do," said manager Charlie Manuel. "When you reach down and do, that means you're in good shape."
Halladay's 28 complete games since the start of 2008 are 10 more than the next closest pitcher -- Lee. Halladay, who also has pitched a major league-high 757 2/3 innings during this stretch, has gone at least seven in 18 of 20 home starts with Philadelphia. He is 13-5 with a 2.08 ERA in those outings.
Looking to open 3-0 for the third straight season, Halladay will face Milwaukee (8-8) for the first time since allowing a career-high four homers in a 5-4 home win Sept. 4.
After snapping their three-game skid Monday, the Brewers will go for a second straight win with former Phillie Randy Wolf (1-2, 4.32) taking the ball.
The veteran left-hander, who went 69-60 with a 4.21 ERA with the Phillies from 1999-2006, is 2-0 with a 2.41 ERA in three starts in Philadelphia since leaving the club.
In his last appearance at Citizens Bank Park on Sept. 5, Wolf surrendered two runs in 6 2/3 innings to help the Brewers win 6-2 and snap a six-game skid to the Phillies.
Wolf had a season-high 10 strikeouts in his last outing, Thursday's 4-1 win at Pittsburgh. He gave up three hits and didn't allow a runner past second base in 6 2/3 scoreless innings.
"Wolf was great and had command of the fastball, and pitched inside and kept them off balance," manager Ron Roenicke told the Brewers' official website.
Teammate Ryan Braun has had no such problem facing Phillies pitching. The three-time All-Star went 3 for 4 with two RBIs Monday -- including the go-ahead sacrifice fly in the 12th inning -- and is batting .368 (35 for 95) in 23 games against Philadelphia.
Braun has one hit in four at-bats against Halladay.
Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard looks to continue his hot hitting against the Brewers after going 2 for 6 with an RBI single Monday. The 2006 MVP is batting .372 (16 for 43) with three homers and nine RBIs in his last 10 games against Milwaukee.
Howard, though, is 2 for 15 with a homer off Wolf.
