The Phils finished their series with the Braves tonight. Cole Hamels got the start and pitched well, allowing just 2 runs on 6 hits in 6 strong innings of work. Meanwhile, the Phil's bats jumped out early again with 2 runs in the first inning. So again Hamel's would need the bullpen to preserve the win for him. Now onto the game. In the top of the 1st, Jayson Werth doubled in one run and then scored on a sac fly by Ryan Howard for a 2-0 lead. In the bottom of the 1st, Brian Mcann doubled in a run to cut the lead to 2-1. In the bottom of the 2nd, Casey Kotchman slammed a solo homer to tie it up at 2. In the top of the 6th, "the Bat" Pat Burrell slugged a 2 run homer for a 4-2 lead. In the bottom of the 7th, Kelly Johnson singled and scored on a fielding error by Jimmy Rollins to cut the lead to 4-3. Finally in the bottom of the 9th, Brad Lidge retired the Braves in order to close out the 4-3 win. So the Phils move to 86-67 overall and remain .5 games up in the NL East, and complete a remarkable 9-0 run in Atlanta this season.
