Last night a position player, Wilson Valdez, got the win in a 19 inning marathon. This afternoon a pitcher, Cliff Lee, knocked in 3 runs with a ground rule double and a single. I'm not sure there's ever been 2 weirder games back to back than that, definitely not in Phils history at least. Anyway Lee's arm was pretty good too as he allowed just 4 runs on 10 hits while striking out 8 in 8 innings. Furthermore, it wasn't just Lee doing the hitting as the Phils racked up 10 runs on 13 hits. Ryan Howard got things going with an RBI double in the 1st. Later Raul Ibanez bashed a 3 run homer in the 3rd inning. Then Lee hit his ground rule double and Micheal Martinez added a sac fly in the 6th. And in the 7th Lee and Martinez collected RBI singles. Finally in the 8th Chase Utley cracked his first homerun of the season to cap the 10-4 win.
