Game 147 Marlins @ Phils

Kyle Kendrick gets the start in game one of the day nighter.
The Phils are still mostly going through the motions. Get three hits and two runs in the first and nothing else until the sixth inning.

Kendrick pitched a very good five innings. He didn't give up his first hit until the fifth inning a long hone run by Logan Morrison.
Kept the Fish off the board and allowed Phils two runs to hold up. The added a run in the seventh on a RBI from Utley in his return from the concussion.

Howard is still struggling terribly.
He was 0-4 with two K's but he wasn't close to much of anything today and won't be in the line up tonight.

Polanco and Ibanez had two hits each and the Phils outhit the opponent for the first time in five games.
A huge play by Ibanez in the top of the eighth.
Marlins have two on and one out. A base hit into left field to Ibanez, he runs in on the ball and picks it up, Infante is coming around third trying to score but Raul throws a strike to Schneider and they get the out. It really was a perfect throw. Raul has had a few of those this season.

Stutes pitched a decent two innings but Bastardo was in trouble again. A hit and a walk in .1 of an inning and Charlie pulled him quick.

Madson got the save but until after he let the first two on in the ninth.
