What do Steve Jeltz, Tomas Perez and Jimmy Rollins have in common?
The Phils got off on the right foot at the start today.
The cubs shortstop lost a pop up in the sun that lead to two runs for the Phils and the Cubs Didn't recover.
The temp was nearly 100° today and well over that on the field today but this time it affected the Cubs starter Ryan Dempster instead of the Phils Vance Worley.
Worley only gave up 4 hits and none until the fifth inning as he pitched another great game. He has to be consider for ROY soon if he continues this.
The top three in the order went 7-13, that includes the three hits and three RBI's and two homers, one from each side of the plate for Rollins. I thought in heard Larry Anderson say it was the 153rd time this happened, twice now for Rollins. Mickey Mantle ten times.
Including the last two innings Tuesday they scored runs in six consecutive innings.
Howard had a hit and an RBI but he is looking terrible at the plate.
Worley even doubled and scored a run. He also pitched eight innings for the first time and his era is 2.02
Mood, feeling pretty, pretty pretty good right now. They are on pace for well over 100 wins. The Braves lost so the lead is 4.5 games and their wild card lead is a hypothetical 9 games.
Looking forward to this four games set at home with the Padres this weekend, including 80's night Friday and our game some of us are going to Sunday. Season high 25 games over .500
Win 9-1
Streak 2 wins
Last ten 6-4
Record 61-36
