Phils Bats are For Real, Moyer Leads Team in Wins

The Phils defeated the Marlins 7-5 Sunday afternoon, to win the three game series two games to one, and take soul possession of first place in the NL East. The Phils (33-25) are a half game above the Marlins and three and a half above the Braves.

Once again Chase Utley goes yard, hitting his league leading 20th homer of the season. Geoff Jenkins also hit a two run ding dong as a pinch hitter in the 6th inning to tie the game.

Then Pat "the bat" Burrell hit a double down the left field line in the 7th plating two Phils giving them the 7-5 lead and eventual win, thanks to a scoreless 8th pitched by Tom Gordon, and yet again another stellar performance by Brad Lidge, picking up his 13th save in as many tries.

The ageless Jamie Moyer picked up the win improving his record to 6-3 on the season. Moyer leads the Phils in the wins category.

I haven't seen the Phillies play such good baseball since 1993. The Phils are very fun to watch, and when they get down, as a fan you always have hope that they will come back.
