Cliff Lee extended his scoreless streak to 32 inning with a 3rd successive complete game shutout, this time against the Boston Red Sox, who came into the Bank this afternoon as the highest scoring lineup in the majors. It didn't matter on this night as Lee rendered them powerless. Meanwhile, Dom Brown stunned Josh Beckett with a 2 run homer, and a double, while Shane Victorino added a late 2 run homer in the 5-0 win.

FLYERS NEWS
The Flyers continued their busy offseason this afternoon, re-signing Andreas Nodl and Tom Sestito, trading Daroll Powe to the Wild for a 3rd round pick in the 2013 draft, and likely signaling the end Dan Carcillo's time in the Philadelphia by not sending him a qualifying offer. In other Orange and Black news, the Flyers all-time leading scorer among defenseman, Mark Howe, was finally elected to the NHL Hall of Fame, while ''the Fog", 74 and 75 Stanley Cup champion coach Fred Shero, was again snubbed.

PHILLIES NEWS
Roy Halladay went the distance, allowing just 1 run on 8 hits while striking out 4 to lead the Phils past the A's 3-1 for his 10th win of the season. Shane Victorino's RBI single and a fielder's choice in the 1st inning, and Ben Francisco's infield single in the 5th provided Halladay with more than enough support in the victory.

Cole Hamels was very good as usual, allowing just 2 runs on 8 hits while striking out 8, but it wasn't enough as the Phils managed just 1 run on 4 hits in a 4-1 loss to the A's. The Phils had chances to score late in the game but just couldn't cash in. First with the Phils down 2-1 in the 8th, Ross Gload slapped a 1 out double to the gap in left, but pinch runner Micheal Martinez was stranded after Jimmy Rollins struck out, Placido Polanco walked and Chase Utley grounded out. Later down 4-1 in the 9th, the Phils put 2 on with 1 out for Dom Brown, but he grounded into a double play to end the game.

Vance Worley tossed 6 shutout innings and Ben Francisco plated the only run of the night with a 2 out RBI single in the 9th to lift the Phils to a 1-0 win over the A's as they returned home from their road trip.
FLYERS NEWS
With the 8th pick in the draft, acquired in the Carter trade, the Flyers selected Canadian center Sean Couterier. If not for injuries he could have been the #1 pick, so getting him in the 8th slot is a bit of a steal. Might he be the new center, the Orange and Black needed? Probably not yet.
