Philadelphia Phillies' pitcher Brett Myers looks great since trip to minors - Philadelphia Phillies Baseball - NJ.com

In Myers' first three starts since returning from his month-long minor league mental vacation, he is 1-0 with a 2.50 ERA. He has struck out only seven, but walked only six, five of which came in his first outing. In his last two starts, he has allowed eight hits and one walk, and just two earned runs. He has allowed just one home run. Opponents are hitting .177 against him with a .282 on base percentage. Of the 11 hits he has allowed (in 18 innings), only two have gone for extra bases.

The Philles need pitching to carry them over the offensive powerhouse in Florida and the New York Mets. Can he sustain his current run or stay close to it?
