There were 2 day games on Tuesday to make up rain outs from earlier this year, and both were started by HomeSiders. In Philadelphia, Kyle Kendrick threw 6 excellent shut out innings against Washington, allowing just 4 hits and NO walks, striking out 4 and leaving the game in a scoreless tie. Mike Schwimer came on in the 7th in allowed 3 runs on 3 hits, the big hit a 3-run homer by Roger Bernadina. In the bottom of the 7th, Raul Ibanez tied it with a 3-run homer of his own. In the 8th, Joe Savery made his debut, allowing 1 hit and recording 1 out, then in the 10th, the Nationals scored the winning run off of Mike Stutes.
In Cleveland, the Indians defeated Gavin Floyd (12-12) and the White Sox, 4-3. Gavin allowed all 4 runs on 7 hits- including 3 Cleveland home runs- in 6.2 innings of work. He struck out 7, including Lou Marson 3 times, and walked nobody. In the night game, Jason Donald (.310) continues his strong September with 4 hits, but the Sox got the split with a 5-4 win. Donald is 7 for his last 9 this week! In the night game in Philly, Justin DeFratus made his 2nd appearance with another scoreless inning as Washington completed the sweep with a 3-0 win over Cliff Lee.
In Toronto, Kyle Drabek was used in relief against the Angels and was hit hard. Kyle gave up 6 runs on 7 hits and 1 walk in just 2 innings in the Angels' 10-6 win..............In Miami, Michael Bourn (.298) had a walk and a hit, drove in a run and scored another and stole his major league leading 56th base of the year for Atlanta in the Braves' 4-0 blanking of the Marlins.......In Oakland, Michael Taylor belted his first major league home run in the Athletics' 7-2 loss to Texas.
The Phillies have announced that after today's start, Vance Worley (11-2) will move to the bullpen in preparation for the playoffs, as the Phillies will not need a fifth starter in the postseason.
