Game 79 A's @ Phils

The A's and Phils finish the series today.
Halladay starts against one of the players they traded for Joe Blanton, last name is Outman, good name for a pitcher.
He was good but Halladay was very good.

You could see a few times during the game when Halladay just simply bared down and controlled an inning. Three innings of less then ten pitches.
He is now 30-3 in the 35 starts that the Phils have given him a lead. The third pitcher to get his tenth win after two previous no decisions.
Jimmy Rollins had his first four hit game in over two seasons.

Phils get to 19 over .500 for the fourth time in about a week. Also this was a needed win. The Braves lost but if the Phils lost they could have been down to a 3.5 game lead going into the series with Boston. As it is they are 4.5 up going into the series with the Red Sox.

Mood is good I really enjoy watching the A's come in to town and here the talk of the old A's teams and players.

Win 3-1
Streak 1 win
Last ten 6-4
Record 49-30
