After a poor series with the Marlins, the Phils opened a huge series with the wild card leading Milwaukee Brewers tonight at the bank. Jamie Moyer, got the start on short rest and tossed 5 and 2/3rd's clutch innings, allowing just 3 runs on 4 hits. Meanwhile, the Phils jumped out early with 4 runs in the 1st 4 innings. So they would need the bullpen to hold the lead. Now onto the game. In the bottom of the 1st, Ryan Howard slammed a 2 run homer for a 2-0 Phil's lead. In the top of the 3rd, J.J Hardy slugged a solo homer to cut the lead to 2-1. In the bottom of the 4th, Howard and Pedro Feliz each slapped RBI doubles for a 4-1 lead. In the top of the 6th, Prince Fielder crushed a 2 run homer to cut the lead to 4-3. In the bottom of the 8th, the "Flyin Hawaiian" Shane Victorino singled and scored on a suicide squeeze for a 5-3 lead. Finally in the top of the 9th, Brad Lidge retired the Brew Crew in order, to close out the 5-3 win. So the Phils move to 80-67 overall, now 3 games behind the Mets and 3 behind the Brewers in the wild card.
