Chase Utley went 5 for 5 and the slumping Ryan Howard hit his 3rd home run as the Phillies beat the Nats 9-3. Lieber was solid only allowing 2 runs in 6 innings and the bullpen did a great job after that. Rowand also extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a single in the 2nd inning.

The Phillies don’t waste a solid start by Moyer and score 3 runs in the 8th inning to pull this game out. Rowand tied the game with a solo home run in the seventh and the bottom of the order finished the game off. The Phillies haven’t lost since Manuel called a team meeting in Cincinnati before Saturday’s game.

Jimmy Rollins and Craig Biggio both hit lead off home runs on Jackie Robinson Day. While everyone wore #42 they could not play like Jackie did. Eaton had 7 strikeouts in six innings giving up 4 runs.

The Phillies win their first series of the year beating the Reds 9-3 behind Garcia’s 5 innings of 2 run work. Ryan Howard returned from injury to hit a homer and the Phillies have also won 2 in a row for the first time this year. Helms, Dobbs and Ruiz combine to leave 12 of the Philly 19 runners on base.

Cole Hamel’s gets a complete game victory vs the Reds only giving up one home run to Jeff Conine in the second while striking out 15! I think the Phillies have figured out how to win, put Hamel’s on the mound. Utley provided 3 out of 4 rbi’s and the Phil sonly left 7 on base, 3 as a team. This is a good win all the way around.

What can you say? Tom Gordon gives up the game tying home run in the 9th and the game winning hit in the 10th. Gordon wastes a one-hit performance by Leiber and the Phils fall to 4-11. One a good note Rowand is hitting the ball solid and Hamel’s gets the next start.

Adam Eaton once again looked bad. The Phillies left 16 base runners hanging and the Nationals end the misery in the 13th with a Sac Fly. When Barajas scores and you don’t win the game you wasted one hell of an effort.

Well Garcia got to start in front of the Philly fans after two games with the Astros were postponed on the 15th & 16th. Unfortunately he looked like crap losing 8-1. He only lasted 4 2/3 and the win earned Glavine his 293rd career victory.

The wins are rare and Hamel’s has 2 of the Phillies 3 wins this year. Not his best performance this year but effective. The Phillies one the bullpen war 2-0 and thats why they won. The 23 men LOB is still a problem.

Another loss this one ended up 9-6. Carlos Lee looked like God in this one hitting 3 home runs with one of them a grand slam! He put up 6 by himself. Oswalt and Myers stunk in this one. The Phils leave 19 on base let by 4 from Helms. Glad to see this one end.
