The Phils continued their hot streak and the Marlins continued to flounder today in a day night doubleheader. In the first half of the doubleheader, Ryan Howard slapped an RBI double, Wilson Valdez lined a 3 run triple, and Jimmy Rollins slammed a 3 run homer and an RBI single, while Kyle Kendrick tossed 7 effective innings, allowing just 1 run on 5 hits and striking out 5. All together it was more than enough for another easy 8-1 win. Later in the 2nd half of the the doubleheader, Roy Halladay provided less than his best performance, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits while striking out 8. However, his battery mate bailed him out. With 1 out and the Phils down 2 in the 9th, Carlos Ruiz singled to start a 2 run rally capped off by Shane Victorino's 2 run single. Later with 2 out in the 10th Ruiz rolled a game winning single back up the middle to cap the doubleheader sweep with a 5-4 win.
