PHILLIES NEWS

Up against the Brewers, holders of the major league's best record coming in tonight, the Phils seemed destined to turn yesterday's loss into a long losing streak. Fortunately someone forgot to tell the players that they weren't supposed to win. Early on it was all Brewers as Jamie Moyer was touched up for 5 runs on 9 hits, including 2 homers, in only 6 and 1/3rd innings of work. The Phils meanwhile, continued to struggle with only 2 runs on 6 hits through 7 innings, and with both runs coming on a two run homer by Pat Burrell, his only hit of the night. So entering the 8th inning the Phils trailed 6-2 and with the Brewer's bullpen owning one of the top ERAs in the league, things didn't look so good. However, the Brewer bullpen looked more like the Phils bullpen tonight, imploding to the tune of 6 runs and 6 hits, all in the 8th inning and mostly off of Derrick Turnbow who showed why he is no longer the Brewer's closer, allowing 4 runs on 2 hits, as the Phillies rallied all the way back to take an 8-6 lead going into the 9th inning. Brett Myers then came in and closed it out in the 9th for his 4th save of the year. So the Phils came from behind for a big win to improve to 18-20. Life is beautiful again.
