Game 72 Phils @ Mariners

This is one of those games that you mark on a calendar.
"King" Felix Hernaandez is pitching tonight for the Mariners. He won the Cy Young last year even with only 13 wins.

Rollins got on to start the game and they got him in on a Howard sac fly.
But the Phils have had a runner on third stranded twice already after three, including after a leadoff double from Howard.

Vance Worley has been a little shaky but he has held his own against Hernandez as it's only 1-1 after four. He is doing a good job so far.

Dom Brown is flirting with the Mendoza line these days. Looks like they are keeping him in against righties for awhile longer though.

Worley leaves the game after only five innings. It's not like he isn't stretched out so why only five innings?

Big seventh inning now, Gload gets on and a really nice piece of hitting for Dom Brown. He doubled down the line.
Then after Ruiz popped up, Rollins walked and Victorino dropped a ball right on the chalk to drive I two runs.
Tonight became Shane Victorino night. He was a single short of a cycle and four RBI's.

Mood, well I'm in a great mood after this game. Anytime they beat a top quality pitcher like Felix Hernandez makes me very happy.
With Cole going tomorrow we should be in good shape for taking two of three.

Win 5-1
Streak 1 win
Last ten 8-2
Record 45 -27
