The Phillies finally won a game last night as they bested the Orioles, 9-6 to take game one of this three game set. The bats broke out pushing across nine runs on 12 hits, giving enough cushion room for Joe Blanton to get the win. Today, Vance Worley (3-2, 3.38 ERA) will make his second […]

Today, the Phillies are looking to take the series in New York after taking yesterday's game by force, winning 8-4. Ty Wigginton came up clutch, going 3-3 with 6 RBI including a three-run home run. It put the Phils ahead and they'd never look back. It's good to have those kinds of games. Cole Hamels […]
