Cloyd fans 10 as R-Phils sweep

Tyler Cloyd struck out 10 hitters in 7 shut out innings for the Reading Phillies on Sunday, and the R-Phils won a game in which they got just 3 hits, 3-1 over Altoona. Cloyd (5-3, 2.90 for Reading) is coming into his own with Reading, handling the mid-season promotion from Clearwater to rise to the challenge. He allowed just 4 hits and 1 walk on Sunday, and got full value for his team's 3 hits. Home runs by Carlos Rivero (#15) and Brent Clevlen (his 4th in 17 games with the team) accounted for all the runs.

Reading is now 65-62, 1 game ahead of New Britain, who just took 3 in a row from first place New Hampshire. The Phillies are in New Britain for a huge 3-game set starting Monday night.
