The Phillies got two mammoth blasts from Ryan Howard, as they took game two vs. the Nationals 9-6. Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino, and Howard all had 2 hits as the Phillies retook the division lead over the folks from the north. Cole Hamels got the win, despite struggling and allowing 6 runs over the 6 innings he worked. Brad Lidge recorded his third save this week. In the series finale the Phillies send Jamie Moyer (3-5, 7.42 era) to the hill to face Nationals ace John Lannan (2-4, 4.11).
The shorthanded Mets lost to the Marlins in game two of their series 7-3. Josh Johnson went 7 strong inning for the Marlins, scattering 5 hits and allowing just two runs. Jeremy Hermida went 3-5 with 4 runs to lead the Fish. In the rubber match this afternoon the Mets send John Maine against Chris Volstad.
Arizona defeated the Braves in 11 innings late Saturday night. Eric Byrnes singled in Mark Reynolds to win it, handing Jeff Bennett the loss. Doug Davis and Javier Vazquez were each spectacular. Both went 7 innings, but obviously earned no decisions. The D'Backs look to take 3 of 4 from the Braves Sunday afternoon when they send Max Scherzer against Kris Medlen.
