FRIDAY QUICK HITS

PITTSBURGH PIRATES @ PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Roy Halladay was looking for lucky win thirteen, the Phillies were looking for a strong right handed bat, and their wishes on both counts were granted. Halladay wins and the Phillies get All-Star Hunter Pence.

 

If you wanted to continue the Philadelphia ‘great day’ in sports we could talk about what Philadelphia Eagles did today but that
is another great story for another great sport in Philly that will be covered soon.

Halladay pitched seven shutout innings allowing one hit to get the win and take his record to 13-4. Along the way he allowed no walks and had five K’s. Drew Carpenter pitched the eighth and gave up three runs, David Herndon pitched a perfect ninth and the Phillies win by a final of 10-3.
 

The Phillies offense had ten runs on eleven hits. Chase Utley led the way going three for five with four RBI. Chase was a double shy of hitting for the cycle. Utley and  Jimmy Rollins homered, Utley and Shane Victorino tripled and Ryan Howard and Shane doubled in the eleven hit attack.

Starter Charlie Morton (8-6) for Pirates went just four innings allowing eight runs on nine hits, walking four with four K’s.

Philadelphia now owns Hunter Pence who is batting .309 with eleven home runs and 62 RBI. Just what the doctor ordered, to bat behind Ryan Howard.
 

The Phillies still have the best record in baseball at 66-39. Pittsburgh is now 54-50.
