In his second career start and first since June 30, 2007, J.A. Happ has the unenviable task of facing Johan Santana. But Phillies manager Charlie Manuel isn't afraid that his 25-year-old southpaw will be overwhelmed.
Cole Hamels pitched 8 2/3 strong innings, Chase Utley hit his National League-leading 24th homer and the Phillies swept the Braves with a 4-1 win at Turner Field on Thursday night.
Burrell having All-Star-worthy first half
Left-hander J.A. Happ will make his second career start, and first of 2008, against the Mets on Friday, taking the rotation slot vacated by Brett Myers.

Phillies turn to Hamels for series finale
Ryan Howard hit a three-run homer and the Phillies held a healthy Braves lineup to seven hits in a 7-3 win on Wednesday night at Turner Field. Adam Eaton (pictured) went five-plus innings for the win.
Brett Myers allowed three runs in five innings in his first Minor League start Wednesday night for Triple-A Lehigh Valley since being optioned here by the Phillies Tuesday afternoon.
Phillies deciding Friday's starter
R.J. Swindle and his 55-mph curveball arrived in Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon. His stay in the Phillies' bullpen may be short -- real short -- but he doesn't seem to mind. Being here, with a big league club, is an accomplishment for Swindle, whom scouts said didn't have the game to make it out of Class A.
There was a definite need for better starting pitching before the Phillies shipped Brett Myers to Triple-A. But with their rotation temporarily in flux, and with no experienced replacement available, the Phillies could surely use a strong outing Wednesday from Adam Eaton, who hasn't provided one in a while.
The Phillies purchased the Minor League contract of reliever R.J. Swindle after Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Braves. He will join the team Wednesday in Atlanta.
Kyle Kendrick allowed three runs in six-plus innings, and the Phillies resumed their recent dominance of the Braves with an 8-3 win on Tuesday night at Turner Field.
The Phillies announced on Tuesday that they have agreed to terms with their first-round pick in last month's First-Year Player Draft, shortstop Anthony Hewitt.
The Phillies optioned struggling right-hander Brett Myers to Triple-A Lehigh Valley before Tuesday's game against the Braves. General manager Pat Gillick announced the move in a statement.
Reading catcher Lou Marson was called into his managers office on his 22nd birthday and given the gift of being told that he'd been named to the 2008 Futures Game U.S. Team roster.
Making the right pitch in such a spot is nothing compared to what Clay Condrey will experience during Monday's day off. Condrey headed home to Navasota, Texas -- about three-and-a-half hours from Arlington, where the Phillies finished a three-game series -- to witness the birth of his first child.
Chase Utley isn't just coasting down the home stretch. He's cruising to an easy win among All-Star Game voters. Another week has widened Utley's already sizeable lead on Chicago's Mark DeRosa -- he has more than twice as many votes -- and remains the NL's leading vote-getter.
After a 5-1 loss on Sunday dropped the Phils to a franchise-worst 4-11 during Interleague Play, Philadelphia will regroup during an off-day in Atlanta, then deal with National League East opponents for 19 of the next 25 games.
After a 5-1 loss to the Rangers on Sunday dropped their 2008 Interleague record to 4-11, the Phillies will recharge during an off-day in Atlanta, then deal with their own division for 19 of the next 25 games.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel wasn't ready to reveal any decision on Sunday about the status of starter Brett Myers, if he has made one regarding the struggling right-hander.
On Sunday, Kris Benson took another step toward recovery, making his third Minor League start of 2008 and his first for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Rangers third baseman Hank Blalock's right wrist injury forced him to watch Phillies lefty Cole Hamels from the bench on Saturday night, instead of digging in against a fellow Rancho Bernardo (San Diego) High School graduate.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel wants struggling outfielder Geoff Jenkins to lower his elbow, which he feels would improve his timing. He suggested that he may give Jenkins Sunday off as well for him to get used to the change.
