Vance Worley won his 9th game of the season in Philadelphia Tuesday, defeating the Mets, 9-4. Worley went 7 strong innings, and after working of of serious trouble in each of the first 2 frames, settled down to allow just 1 run on 5 hits and a walk. Vance (9-1, 2.65) struck out 9 Mets, and if it were not for Atlanta's Craig Kimbrel, would have be in the running for rookie of the year. Mike Stutes (3.75) threw the final 2 innings, and gave up 3 runs on 4 hits including a home to Lucas Duda. John Mayberry hit his 12th home run, his 2nd in 2 night, and Ben Francisco added 3 hits for the Phillies.
Even better than Vance, Alfredo Simon threw 8 strong innings in Minnesota, leading the Orioles to an 8-1 win over the Twins. Simon (4-6, 4.30) allowed just 1 run on 3 hits and 1 walk, and struck out 8 for Baltimore.
The 2 wins make a total of 76 for the HomeSide.
