Analysis:

There was talk of Eickhoff starting Saturday, but the team will give him the nod Friday and push Aaron Harang back. Friday's game will feature two pitchers making their first career major league starts, with Eickhoff opposing young right-hander Kendry Flores. Eickhoff, part of the package Philadelphia received for Cole Hamels, posted a 3.85 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 126:39 K:BB in 133.1 innings between Double-A and Triple-A this season.
