Game 85: Braves (43-39) at Phillies (37-47)

Hi everybody,

Here is the score of last night's game:

Atlanta Braves:                  5 
Philadelphia Phillies:        0

LP:   Antonio Bastardo (2-3)


Another loss by the Phils bullpen...thanks to Antonio Bastardo who gave up five runs in the 8th inning.  That was more than enough for the Phils to lose again.  Kyle Kendrick pitched well but gets a no-decision.  This game also marked the return of Ryan Howard who hit a double and single.  Let's hope Howard can keep it up.

The Phils end their six game losing streak with an impressive win.  Cliff Lee also finally gets his first win of the season.  Lee pitched a great game and the Phils offense came through with nine runs.  The Phils were behind 2-0 in the 7th before exploding in the final three innings.  Chase Utley started the scoring with a two run Home Run to tie the game.  Carlos Ruiz followed up with with a Home Run of his own to give the Phils a 3-2 lead.  The offense scored three more runs in each the 8th and 9th innings to get the win.  It was great to see Lee get his first win and hopefully he can build on it in his next start.  The Phils go for the series win against the Mets tomorrow night with Cole Hamels on the mound.  Go Phils!!!

Chase Utley Photo of the Week (7-4-12)

Hi everybody,

It's an Independence Day edition of Photo of the Week.  Chase was awesome in today's game hitting his second home run of the season!  I decided to use a picture of him running the bases since I couldn't find any patriotic Chase pic.
