deja vu, a la Bastardo

For the second game in a row, Antonio Bastardo pitched 1 scoreless inning and was awarded a victory when the Phillies scored the winning run. On Monday, Bastardo (5-0, 1.31) threw the bottom of the 9th after John Mayberry's home run had tied it, making him the beneficiary of Shane Victorino's game winner in a 4-3 win over the Rockies. Cole Hamels went the first 6, allowing just 2 runs on 6 hits and a walk, both runs coming on Seth Smith's home run in the 2nd. Otherwise, Cole was very good. Mike Stutes allowed 1 run in 2 innings of work. Carlos Ruiz (.268) had 2 doubles and scored a run for Philadelphia.

The win for Bastardo was #67 for the HomeSide.

In Washington, Michael Bourn made his debut for the Braves, going 1 for 4 in Atlanta's 5-3 loss, while his old team, the Astros, took a 4-3 game from the Reds. Sergio Escalona (2.53) retired all 4 hitters he faced, picking up a strike out.
