PHILLIES NEWS
The Phils just keep on rolling. Tonight Adam Eaton took the mound for the Phils ,and after a shaky 1st inning, in which he loaded the bases and allowed a run, he wound up going 5 innings, allowing just 3 runs on 5 hits. The Phils, meanwhile, used the long ball to perfection. Ryan Howard crushed a solo homer in the 1st inning to tie a 1, Pat Burrell slammed a 2 run homer in the 3rd inning to put the Phils up 4-1, and Jimmy Rollins slapped a solo homer(his 29th, and that after collecting his 200th hit of the season, back in the 3rd) in the 5th inning to help put the Phils up for good 6-1. After the Nationals had tacked on a few runs to put some pressure on and cut the lead to 6-3, the Phils bullpen dug in and held on. As usual, J.C Romero, Tom Gordon, and Brett Myers combined to close it out, for a 6-3 Phils win. So the Phils improve to 84-70, now just 1.5 games behind the Padres in the wildcard, and still 1.5 games behind the Mets in the NL East. Thus, life remains beautiful.
