After an embarrassing 12 inning shutout loss to the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates last night, the Phils came into tonight looking to rebound. Brett Myers got the start and produced yet another masterful performance allowing just 1 run on 5 hits in 7 and 2/3rd's innings of work. Meanwhile, the Phils bat's supported Myer's supreme effort on this night with 4 runs on 10 hits. Now onto the game. In the bottom of the first, Jimmy Rollins, tripled and scored on a double by the "Flying Hawaiian" Shane Victorino who then scored on a single by Ryan Howard for a 2-0 Phil's lead. In the top of the 4th, Nate Mclouth doubled in a run to cut the lead to 2-1. In the bottom of the 7th, Victorino singled in a run for a 3-1 lead. In the bottom of the 8th, Greg Dobbs singled in a run for a 4-1 lead. Finally in the top of the 9th, after a allowing a run on a wild pitch and a single, Chad Durbin closed it out for the Phils to finish off the 4-2 win. So the Phils improve to 63-53 overall and remain 1 game up in the NL East.
