Notes:
July was a tough month as we wnt 10-18, but we brought up some prospects. We let Rule 5 pick Steve Howe go and brought up Jim Campbell. in 6.1 IP, he's giving up 1 run on 6 hits, 3 Ks. Todd Frohwirth was also brought up and he is 01- with 2 saves in 10.1 with 1 ER, 11, hits, 3 BB and 9 Ks. Steve Ontiveros made his debut pitching 6 strong innning but he was lit up in his next start. The Philies brightest star, Kevin Appier is 2-0 in 2 starts with 14 IP, 4 ER, 9 H, 3 BB and 11 K. All in all it was good for their development.
