The Phils finished their series with the Marlins this afternoon, looking to complete the sweep. Thanks to 6 strong innings out of Jamie Moyer in which he allowed just 1 run 7 hits while striking out 6 and a monster 13 run, 12 hit day for the Phils lineup they got the sweep easily. In the top of the 1st Ryan Howard singled in one run and Raul Ibanez sac flyed in another run for a 2-0 lead. In the top of the 4th Moyer got his first hit of the season, a single, and Chase Utley slapped a 2 run single for a 4-0 lead. In the bottom of the 5th Hanley Ramirez singled in a run to put Florida on the board and cut the lead to 4-1. In the top of the 7th, Pedro Feliz singled in one run, Greg Dobbs worked a bases loaded walk for a 2nd run, and the "Flyin Hawaiian" Shane Victorino socked another 2 run single for an 8-1 lead. In the top of the 8th, Feliz singled in another run, Matt Stairs worked a bases loaded walk, Victorino lined a 2 run double to right and Eric Bruntlett hit a sac fly to score Stairs for a 13-1 lead. Finally the embarrassed Marlins somehow managed a run on a sac fly in the bottom of the 9th to cut it to 13-2, before J.A Happ closed them out. So the Phils get back over .500 at 9-8 overall and now sit just 1.5 games behind Florida for first in the NL East.
