The Phils continued their series with the Cardinals tonight as they looked to bounce back from last night's shutout. The rookie J.A Happ made his 2nd start of the season tonight and it was a dandy as he allowed just 2 runs on 5 hits in 6 and 1/3rd's innings of work. The Phil's bats nearly left Happ out to dry, but they woke up just in time. Now onto the game. In the bottom of the 5th, Jimmy Rollins tripled in a run, and the "Flying Hawaiian" Shane Victorino reached base on a fielder's choice and scored on a single by Ryan Howard for a 2-0 Phil's lead. In the top of the 7th, Albert Pujols hit a sac fly to knock in one run and Troy Glaus singled in a 2nd run to knot it up at 2. In the bottom of the 8th, Ryan Howard slammed a solo homer, for his Phils' record tying 80th RBI before the All-Star break, and Pedro Feliz slugged another solo homer for a 4-2 Phil's lead. Finally in the top of the 9th, Brad Lidge put the Cardinals away, as the Phils improve to 49-43 overall and remain 1.5 games up in the NL East.
