Phillies 8 Marlins 2
It Was Over When....
Pat Burrell crushed a 3 run homer off the Marlin's Ricky Nolasco in the top of 7th inning. At the time the Phils were clinging to a 5-2 lead, but Burrell's homer gave them the lead for good.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Pat Burrell with 2 hits and 4 RBIs on the day, including a 3 run homer, Jimmy Rollins whose only hit of the day wound up being the 2 run homer he rushed in the 5th inning.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
7, as in the 7 solid innings pitched by Phils starter Jamie Moyer on his way to winning his first game of the season. Along the Way Moyer managed to get out of several jams, as he allowed just 2 runs, pretty much ensuring that the Phils would finally get a win.
The Bottom Line Is....
For the first time this season the Phils actually played as a team with all its pieces clicking, and not surprisingly they finally got their first win. If they can continue playing like they did tonight they will be tough to beat from here on out.
