The Phils finished off their 3 game set with the Nationals tonight. The veteran Jamie Moyer got the start and produced his best effort of the season thus far, blanking the Nats on just 7 hits in 6 innings of work. Meanwhile, Ryan Howard and the rest of the Phils lineup, finally came back to life pounding out 12 runs on 15 hits in a laugher. Now onto the game. In the top of the first Howard slapped an RBI double for a 1-0 Phils lead. In the top of the 2nd, Pedro Feliz slammed a solo homer for a 2-0 Phils lead. In the top of the 5th, Shane Victorino and Howard each slugged solo homers for a 4-0 Phils lead. In the top of the 6th, Jimmy Rollins slapped a bases loaded single for one run, Victorino followed with a bases clearing single, following an error by Dmitri Young, Chase Utley followed with an RBI double, Howard crushed a 2 run homer, and finally Chris Coste slapped a 2 out single to cap an 8 run innings, to put the Phils ahead 12-0. In the top of the 7th, the Nats finally broke up the shutout as Ryan Zimmerman and Young each slapped 2 out RBI singles to cut the lead to 12-2. From there little used Clay Condrey closed it out, as the Phils won easily 12-2. So the Phils improve to 26-22 overall, but alas still remain 2nd in the NL East.

We may be in second but that coveted 1st place is not far out of our reach

no it is not far reach, but it would still be better to be there already
