Cliff Lee's stats for June are mind-boggling.
5-0, with 3 straight shutouts (first time a Phils' pitcher has done that since Hall of Famer Robin Roberts did so 61 years ago).
1 earned run in 42 innings, for a 0.21 ERA.
It's hard to imagine that Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels and Lee all will not make the NL All-Star team.
Oh, and tonight he shutout the Majors' best hitting team, the Boston Red Sox, 5-0 on a 2-hitter (he no-hit them through 5 innings). No runner got past second base, and he helped his own cause with a sacrifice fly.
Amazing game, and it also could mark the breakthrough of super-prospect Domonic Brown, who hit a line-drive 2-run homer to center and then doubled to left. Pretty good game for a 23 year-old rookie playing in the first game of a much-hyped series.
But the story right now is Lee, who is just unhittable.
