Daily News | Phillies go for Chicago sweep in pitching showdown between Taijuan Walker, Kyle Hendricks
Walker has been brilliant in June. In 30 innings over five starts, the righty has allowed just five earned runs while posting a 0.83 WHIP to go with 28 strikeouts. The Phillies are 4-1 in those starts.
