The Phils welcomed the mannyless Dodgers to the Bank tonight to begin what should be an interesting series. Chan Ho Park, a former Dodger, got the start and produced his 2nd successive solid outing, allowing just 2 runs on 7 hits in 6 strong innings. The Phils meanwhile collected just 6 hits, but they made them count, scoring 5 runs. All together it was enough to hold off the Dodgers on this night. In the top of the 1st, Juan Pierre doubled and scored on a single by Orlando Hudson. In the bottom of the 3rd, Pedro Feliz walked and scored on a fielder's choice to knot it up at 1. In the top of the 4th Matt Kemp slapped a 2 out single for a 2-1 lead. In the bottom of the 4th Jimmy Rollins singled in one run and Raul Ibanez doubled in 2 more for a 4-2 lead. In the bottom of the 7th, Jayson Werth singled, stole second, stole 3rd, and then surpised everyone by stealing home for a 5-2 lead. Finally in the top of the 9th after allowing a pinch RBI single to Mark Loretta Brad Lidge got Pierre to fly out for his 5th save of the season and the 5-3 Phils win. So the Phils move to 16-14 overall and into 2nd in the NL East, just a game behind the Mets.

Oh how I love the sweet taste of victory over a team without their leader. And oh how I hate those Mets who wont be in first for long.
