| Kyle Kendrick is dominant, scattering 4 hits and at one point retiring 15 straight Nats. Felipe Lopez, if he was more of a power hitter, would have tied the game in the 8th but only got a single because of his W rating. Brett Myers comes in at that point, promptly picks Lopez off first base for the final out of the 8th, and goes a 1-2-3 9th for the save for the second straight day. Tim Redding is no slouch for the Nationals striking out 9 and only allowing one run through 6, but is saddled with the tough luck loss. The two Phillie runs scored in the 3rd inning and the 9th. In the 3rd Jimmy Rollins singles, Tadahito Iguchi sends Rollins to 3rd with a hit and run, and Aaron Rowand beats out a double play as Rollins scores. There ware no outs, so even if the doubleplay had happened Rollins would have scored anyway. The other run came in the 9th on a Greg Dobbs solo homerun for a little breathing room. Dobbs had just came into the game as part of a double switch in the 8th when Myers came in to pitch. 6th straight win for the Phillies as their recent 10-2 run gives them their best record since April 22, when they were 5-12. They have historically always been slow starters in my SOM, but never this slow for this long. Once Chase Utley and Shane Victorino come back from injuries, the comeback should begin I hope. |
