Thanks to hurricane Irene they haven't played since Friday night. They lost that game so a one game writes loss becomes a series loss.
Anyway tonight started a stretch to the end of the season of 33 games in 31 days.
Another standard game with no flash this team is all business even when they lose.
Hamels came off the DL tonight to start first time in over two weeks.
He pitched six innings and was sharp. Would have had a shut out for six innings except for the fly ball that Pence played into a triple with no outs. He over ran a ball then slipped when he tried to catch it. Only gave up two hits and struck out seven.
The Phils tied it in the fifth and took the lead for good when Victorino hit a two run homer.
Bastardo pitched In the seventh which I thought was odd and Stutes in the eighth, also odd.
Madson got the save.
I'm glad Hamels is back and I hope he is as good as he looked tonight. They need him to make up for Oswalt who is really an unknown at this point.
Halladay tomorrow on 8 days rest then Lee after that also on a long break because of all the rain lately.
Win 3-2
Last ten 6-4
After Pence 18-7
Division 6.5 up
Magic number 25
Record 84-46
