THIS IS INSANE! THE PHILLIES WIN WITH A PATHETIC 3 HIT NIGHT!

 

 

BLANTON TOSSES A SOLID GAME AND VICTORINO DRIVES IN 2 of the 3 runs ……………

 

 

BRAVES WIN – GIANTS AND CARDINALS LOSE ………………………

KUDOS to Joe Blanton. He’s had a horrific season if we are summarizing, but he has had 3 very solid starts in a row! Joe I have criticized your inconsistency and lack of quality starts or in some cases finishes, but my man you have, at least for now you have gutted it out and redeemed yourself when it counts.

 

Pitchers	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	PC-ST	ERA
J Blanton (W, 6-6)	6.0	6	1	1	1	3	0	73-49	5.15
J Contreras (H, 10)	1.0	0	0	0	0	1	0	14-8	3.13
R Madson (H,	1.0	0	0	0	0	1	0	14-8	3.28
B Lidge (S, 18)	1.0	0	0	0	0	1	0	17-10	3.90

 

As for the offense? This may be even worse than the May/June/July debacle! Which is hard to do even if they were trying to duplicate or top it.

 

• 3 Hits

• 4 Walks which helped

• 1 for 6 with men in scoring position

• Rollins had a hit

• Victorino had 2 hits and 2 big RBI’s – he had a triple in the 7th that drove Werth home. Victorino scored a run also.

• Werth scored 2 runs

• Sweeney drove in Victorino for the 3rd run

• Game was played at 1 pm West time – so I can imagine both teams were somewhat lethargic after the 12th inning game Friday night!

 

 

> This was the 12th game in a row that the Phillies have played !

 

> 12 more games to play in the next 11 days!

 

It was nice to see Lidge bounce back and have a good save also!

 

 

NEXT UP Hamels goes for the series clincher on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
