The Phils continued their winning ways against the Padres this afternoon as Kyle Kendrick turned in a solid outing, allowing just 3 runs on 6 hits over 5 and 2/3rd's innings. Thank's to Chase Utley's 3 run homer in the 1st inning that outing was just enough to keep the Phils in it through 6. A power surge in the 7th inning took care of the rest. First, on the very first pitch of the home half of the 7th, Ryan Howard crushed a solo homer to tie the game at 4. A couple batters later Micheal Martinez lined a 3 run shot into the seats to make it 7-4 and finally a couple batters after that Utley connected on his second blast of the night for an 8 -4 lead. In the end that turned out to be just enough for the win after Antonio Bastardo had a shaky 8th inning had to be bailed out by David Herndon with the score 8-6 and the bases loaded. Luckily Ryan Madson was not as shaky in the 9th as he sealed the 8-6 win, the Phils 63rd of the season, which moves them back to 5 games up in the NL East.

After getting bounced around by the Mets in his first start after the break, Cole Hamels rebounded nicely tonight against his hometown team, the Padres, allowing just 1 run on 3 hits while striking out 10, in 8 strong innings. Meanwhile, Carlos Ruiz double in the 2nd inning, and Chris Luebke's balk and John Mayberry's subsequent double in the 4th inning gave the Phils an early 3-0 lead. Thanks to Hamels, and then Ryan Madson, who grabbed his 1st save since coming off the DL with 1-2-3 9th, that was enough to hang on for a 3-1 win.
