Yesterday in the NL East..


The Phillies jumped out quickly on Nationals' starter Ross Detwiler, tagging the LHP for 10 hits and 5 runs over 4 innings. J.A. Happ again pitched well for the WFC, working into the sixth inning before giving way to Chad Durbin. The Phils had 16 hits. Each starter had at least one in the contest. The three game series concludes tonight, with staff ace Cole Hamels (2-2, 4.68 era) going up against Shairon Martis (5-0, 4.86 era) for the Nats.

The Mets snuck out a 2-1 win in 11 innings over the Marlins. Omir Santos singled in Gary Sheffield to give the Mets the victory. With the win, the Mets stay a 1/2 game in front of our WFC. Mike Pelfrey was strong, going 7 2/3 innings. He scattered 5 hits and allowed just one Marlin run. In game two, the Marlins send Josh Johnson against the Mets' Tim Redding.

Out west, Atlanta snapped a four-game skid, beating the D'Backs 10-6. Yunnel Escobar returned to the Atlanta lineup going 2-5, with 3 rbi and a HR. Jair Jurrjens picked up his 5th win of the season going 5 1/3 innings and allowing 5 earned. In game two the Braves send Javier Vazquez to the bump. The D'Backs will counter with Doug Davis.

Already dig the new format. It should be good. Later folks.
