| In a game that looks more like an Eagles-Rams football score, the Phillies get out the tape measure smashing 5 homeruns and put a whuppin' on the NL Central leading Cardinals, beating them by two touchdowns. Greg Dobbs began the barrage with a 2-run dinger in the 2nd, Pat Burrell smokes a 3 run shot in the 3rd, Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard each knock in two with smashes over the fence in the 4th, and Rollins adds another homer with a 2-run blast in the 7th. Lost in the shuffle of balls flying out of the park is the pitching of Kyle Kendrick, who gets the 7-hitter for his first major league shutout. He almost lost the shutout when the Cards put two runners on in the 9th, but Kendrick whiffs the final two hitters of the game (his only two strikeouts in the game!) as the Cardinals get the big goose egg on the scoreboard. |

Kyle Kendrick whitewashed St. Louis and Jimmy Rollins rocketed 2 homeruns and
had 4 RBI as the Philadelphia Phillies destroyed the St. Louis Cardinals by a
score of 14 to 0 at Citizen's Bank Park.
Rollins enjoyed a big evening at the plate. He slapped a one-base hit in the
3rd inning, cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 4th inning and
smashed a two-run homer (his 14th of the season) in the 7th inning.
Philadelphia had 14 hits for the night.
Kendrick(2-3) went the distance for the shutout. Kip Wells(5-6) was tagged
with the loss. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 6 runs in 2 and
2/3 innings.
'I had a big day, but there's a lot of credit to go around' Rollins said. 'We
played well together as a team.'
