    In his first game back with the Phillies in front of fans who adore him, Cliff Lee even heard cheers after striking out.

    Lee can do no wrong in Philadelphia.

    The lefty struck out 11 in seven impressive innings, five players had multiple hits and the Phillies beat the Houston Astros 9-4 Saturday night.

    "I can hear the noise, hear the volume," Lee said. "It felt good to know fans are excited to see me back. You try not to focus on it too much and get hitters out, but I gave myself a minute to notice it."

    ive heard this hype on a few sites, and although i didnt watch the game, 3 runs allowed in 7 innings is hardly impressive
