PHILLIES NEWS

Big night for the Phils tonight. At one game under .500 they needed a win to get back to .500 yet again, and get back to .500 they would. Fresh off his worst start of the season, Jamie Moyer rebounded for 7 strong innings, allowing just 3 runs on 5 hits while striking out 4. The Phils meanwhile, romped to an early 3-1 lead which stood until the 6th inning when a Ryan Howard error opened the door for the Braves to tie it at 3. Greg Dobbs put the Phils right back ahead in the 7th though, with a 2 run double. Then in the 8th Howard atoned for his blunder with a two run double of his own to all but seal deal as the Phils went up 7-3, but they weren't done yet. Jayson Werth hit a pinch solo homer in the top of the 9th for good measure, to put the Phils up 8-3. Rookies Michael Zagurski ,who was just called up from double A reading ot fill Brett Myers roster spot, and Yoel Hernandez ,who had only pitched 2 innings so far this season then closed it out with perfect 8th and 9th innings respectively. Who knows, maybe they're the answer in the bullpen right now, well at least until Myers returns from DL. Anyway the Phils once again try to get above .500(they are now 24-24, 4 behind Atlanta for 2nd in the NL East and Wild Card) tomorrow at 3:35, and since life is now beautiful again they better keep me happy and finally do it.
