First some catch up; I neglected to mention that Ryan Howard's game winning hit on Thursday night gave Mike Schwimer his first major league win.
Friday night, Schwimer took the loss in a 4-2, 11-inning defeat to the Cardinals. Howard sat out again, and once again came through with a pinch hit double with 2-out in the 9th, leading to the tying run scoring. Ryno is now 14 for 32 (that's .438) in his career as a pinch hitter. Vance Worley started and gave the Phillies 6 solid innings, leaving in a 1-1 tie. Antonio Bastardo threw 1 inning and allowed a home run to Yadier Molina, which raised his ERA to 2.10 in his 55 innings this season. The Phillies are 1 win away from clinching their 5th straight NL East title.
The Mets helped the Phillies move closer to that title by slamming the Braves, 12-2. Michael Bourn (.301) had a single and a triple, scored a run , stole his 55th base and threw out a runner at third base for Atlanta..........In Minnesota, Lou Marson (.235) had 2 hits, 2 RBI and stole a base for the Indians in their 7-6 win over the Twins. Lou is 7 for his last 22 (.318) over the last 6 games.
