| A dominating performance by Brett Myers, 8 shutout innings, 3 hits striking out 13 Astros. Myers saved the best for last, as this is his last start for the season. I wanted to leave him in to try for the shutout, but because he spent so much of the season as the closer his suggested pitch count is only 82. At almost 110 pitches when it came to the 9th, I at least wanted to hopefully hold on to the shutout, so Geoff Geary pitched the 9th for the combined shutout. Chace Utley is a one man wrecking machine of offense today, with a single, double and triple and knocking in 4 of the 5 Phillie runs. The bats seem to finally be coming alive after sleeping through the first two weeks of the season, as the Phils snap a 5 game losing streak. |

Chase Utley collected 2 extra-base hits and had 4 RBI and Brett Myers mowed
down 13 Houston batters as the Philadelphia Phillies outscored the Houston
Astros 5 to 0.
The Philadelphia fans enjoyed the offense provided by Utley. He doubled
knocking in a run in the 1st inning, tripled clearing all three ducks off the
pond. in the 3rd inning and smacked a single in the 8th inning. Neither team
managed to score after the 3rd inning.
The victory went to Myers(1-2) who went 8 innings, allowing no runs. Roy
Oswalt(1-1) was given the loss. He allowed Philadelphia 5 runs in 4 innings
of work.
Charlie Manual was asked about the performance of Myers, 'He had his good
stuff out there tonight. The fans really get into it when the strikeouts
start mounting up - and that seems to give him even more adrenalin.'
