Midnight’s Children

The Philies offense continues to roll as they put up 12 mores runs last night in a victory over Florida to take over first place in the N.L. East. The Marlins tokk a 3-0 lead in the first off of starter Brett Myers who could not locate the plate and was very timid in his approach. Myers’ confidence was very shaky from the start and he is relying on his curve ball in too many key situations. Chase Utley tied the game at 3-3 with a 3-run shot and the Phillies bats were off to the races. They put up  4 more runs in the 2nd innning to take a 7-3 lead and never looked back. Chris Coste and Ryan Howard also homered in the win and Myers settled in to strike out 11 over 8 innings. This was by far his best outling in May and will hopefully give him the confidence he is looking for going forward.
