The Phils traveled out to Arizona to begin a series with the Diamondbacks tonight. Jamie Moyer got the start and had a roller coaster of night, walking 4 batters and allowing 6 hits. He just got himself into 1 jam after another, 2 on and 2 out in the 1st, bases loaded and nobody out in the 2nd, 2 on and noboody out in the bottom of the 3rd and a man on 2nd and 2 out in the 5th. Somehow though ,he got out of each jam unscathed and wound up tossing 6 and 2/3d's scoreless innings for the win. Arizona didn't even score until they a couple of runs in the 8th inning and by then the Phils were already ahead 6-0, thanks a 2 run jack by Ryan Howard in the 4th inning, an RBI double by Jimmy Rollins in the 5th, and an RBI single by Raul Ibanez and 2 fielder's choices resulting from poor Diamondback's defense. Brad Lidge then came in the 9th and put the Dbacks away in order. This game just goes to show you the difference between a division leader and a team at the bottom of its division. Simply put, the Phils took advantage of their opportunities and didn't make mistakes, while Arizona did the opposite. Anyway so the Phils move to 57-40 overall and now 7 games up in the NL East.
