Another HomeSider, another win!

Once again, there was a problem with the site's server, keeping me off most of the day yesterday. But quickly, after Cole Hamels won game #28 for the HomeSide Monday, Tuesday presented several opportunities before we got one late. There were 3 chances in the Phillies game alone, with Vance Worley, Mike Stutes and Antonio Bastardo all leaving the game with the score tied, but Ryan Madson lost it in the 9th.

In Houston, Jay Happ allowed 5 runs, but 4 of them were unearned on just 3 hits in 5 innings of work and the Astros lost to the Dodgers, 5-4. Happ has pitched well for Houston, posting a 3-6 record for the 18-31 'Stros. Sergio Escalona entered the game and struck out both hitters he faced, in what has become his role.

The win went to Alfredo Simon, who made his debut for the Orioles in the top of the 9th inning of the game which Kansas City was leading 3-2. Simon threw a 1-2-3 inning and picked up the win when Adam Jones hit a 2-run walk off home run completing the 3-run rally to give the Orioles, and Simon, a 5-3 win.
