The Philadelphia Phillies ended their California road trip in grand style, with a comeback from down 6-0, to take a 9-8 victory on the way out of LA. Ryan Howard (.252) had 2 hits, including his 25th home run, 2 walks, scored 3 runs and drove in 2 (NL leading 91) to help the comeback. The win gave the Phillies a sweep of the Dodgers, and their best ever California road trip, going 9-1.
Vance Worley had a rare off outing. Vance (8-1, 2.85) battled his way through 4 innings, and allowed 6 runs, on 7 hits and 3 walks, striking out 6. He also got a key 2-out, RBI single in the top of the 4th which cut the Dodger lead to 6-3 at the time. Kyle Kendrick was the winning pitcher (7-5), even though he gave up a run on 2 hits, striking out 2 in his inning. Antonio Bastardo (1.41) used only 16 pitches to retire all 5 hitters he faced, and picked up his 11th hold.
The win for Kendrick is #73 for the HomeSide.
In Cleveland, Lou Marson (.222) had a key double that triggered a 4-run rally in the 4th inning as the Indians beat the Tigers again, this time by the score of 10-3. The Tribe is just 2 games behind Detroit, and these teams will see alot of each other down the stretch........In Miami, Michael Bourn (.303) led off the game with a single, scored the first run and led the Braves to a "never-look-back" 6-2 win over the Marlins.............In Phoenix, Sergio Escalona (2.70) once again came on to face 1 hitter, today it was Miguel Montero, and struck him out.
