The bats woke up today. Chase Utley, Greg Dobbs, Raul Ibanez and Ryan Howard all connected on solo shots as the Phils knocked off the Cincinnati Reds by a touchdown, 12-5 this afternoon. Ugh bad memories of the 13-13 tie in Cinci months ago. At least there are no ties in baseball. Jimmy Rollins had 4 hits, scored 2 runs and swiped a bag as he continues to distance himself from the Mendoza line.
Joe Blanton aka Heavy B (thanks to Mike Missanelli) did as much as he possibly could to give up almost all of an early 6 run lead, by giving up 5 runs in 5 innings, which is passing as a quality start these days in Philly. It was good enough for a victory thanks to the top 3 of the order batting 9-15 with 5 runs and 8 knocked in. The Phils improve to 6-1 on the current roadtrip. Off to the Bronx...
GO PHILS
