June 24, 2012 Twins 10, Phillies 5




Despite outhitting the Twins 13-10, the Phils fall way short in the run collumn. Two reasons - the Twins poke out four homeruns (two by Josh Willingham) and make the most of their chances by only leaving oneruner on base the entire game!

Josh Willingham launched 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI at Target Field as the
Minnesota Twins beat the Philadelphia Phillies by the count of 10 to 5.

It was a good day for Minnesota thanks to Willingham. He clubbed a solo home
run in the 4th inning, stroked a one-base hit which brought home a run in the
6th inning and smashed a two-run homer in the 7th inning. Philadelphia had
13 hits in the game while Minnesota had 10, but Minnesota had the more timely
hits.

The victory was credited to Scott Diamond(4-1) who went 5 and 2/3 innings,
allowing 2 runs. Joe Blanton(2-6) was the loser. He served up 3 homeruns in
his 5 and 2/3 innings.

'I've spent a lot of time in the cage and made some adjustments and they've
paid off,' Willingham said. 'I just take the same approach up there. I don't
overanalyze it. I go up there, see the ball and try to put a good swing on
it.'

June 13, 2012 Phillies 8, Twins 7




Jim Thome of the Phillies makes the most of the play in the AL parks, stepping into the DH position in the lineup in full force. Thome had a homerun in the Orioles series and smacks two over the wall today, none bigger than his shot to lead off the 9th to give the Phils an 8-7 lead . The Phils did lead the game entering the bottom of the 7th inning 7-1, but the Twins came back with six runs in the 7th and 8th innings off of a tiring Cole Hamels and the Bastard (aka Antonio Bastardo) to tie the game.

Thanks to Thome' 9th inning heriocs, rookie Joe Savery, being in the right place at the right time, gets his first major league win.

June 13, 2012 Braves 2, Yankees 0 (Tim Hudson no-hitter)




Braves starter Tim Hudson joins Colby Lewis, C. J. Wilson and Luke Hochevar in the 2012 no-hit club, as he holds the Yankees to the goose-egg with only a walk in the 3rd inning seperating him from perfection. Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda is no slouch himself, holding the Braves scoreless until Brian McCann hits a two-run homerun with two out in the bottom of the 8th inning.

Using the IRL stats, this will be the first no-hitter pitched for the Braves in almost 20 years since Kent Merker no-hit the Dodgers in 1994. As for the Yankees, it is the first no-no against them since six Astros pitchers combined on a no-hitter in 2003. It is the first solo pitcher no-hitter against them in almost 55 years, since Hoyt Wilhelm no-hit them in 1958. It is also the 12th overall no-hitter in Braves franchise history, with four each in Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta.

History was made in Atlanta as Tim Hudson(6-1) tossed a no-hitter and the
Atlanta Braves defeated the New York (AL) Yankees by the score of 2 to
0.

Hudson provided a brilliant, unforgettable performance for the hometown crowd
at Turner Field evening. He had excellent control, walking only one. The
Atlanta players and coaches started to leave Hudson alone with his thoughts
after the game reached the 7th inning. By the time the 9th inning rolled
around, you could hear a pin drop every time he went to his wind-up - and an
explosion after every out. New York (AL) went down without a fight in the
9th.

Hiroki Kuroda(4-4) was charged with the loss. 'I gave it everything I had.
It's probably the greatest day of my life,' Hudson said. 'I was out there
focusing on my catcher's glove, that's all. I just concentrated on pitching
my game.'

June 12, 2012 Phillies 8, Twins 0




Kyle Kendrick pitches what is easily the best game of his so far six year career, tossing his first career shutout and setting a career high in strikeouts. The 22-38 record for the Twins is the worst won-loss record in the majors right now, but a good chunk of that record happened during their 14 game losing streak back in April when they beagn the season at 2-14.

For the Phillies this is their first appearance in Minnesota since 2004, and only the fourth series against the Twins since interleague play began 15 years ago.

June 10, 2012 Phillies 4, Orioles 1 (12)




A very well pitched game for Phillie starter Cliff Lee as he only allows one hit until the 9th inning. Problem was, that one hit was a solo homerun off the bat of Steve Tolleson which would end up being the only Oriole run of the game. It held up until the Phils finally poked a run across in the 8th inning to tie the game. It stays quiet until the top of the 12th when Jimmy Rollins plays hero and smacks a 3-run homerun over the wall for the lead, and Paps hangs on to that lead this time for the save. With the win, the Phillies avert the sweep in what would have been the first sweep by the Orioles in Baltimore since the first interleague series matchup in 1997. The Orioles did sweep a three game series from the Phillies in Philadelphia in 2009.

Big changes in the NL East division standings since the first of the month, 10 days ago, Back then, it was the Phillies in first and behind them it was (from 2nd to 4th) the Nationals 1 game behind, Atlanta 4 1/2 and the Mets 4 1/2 back. Now, the Phillies still hold first place but it goes Atlanta 1 game back, the Mets 1 1/2 and the Nats now 2 behind. That is due to records since the beginning of the month of 4-6 for the Phillies, 6-2 for the Braves, 7-3 for the Mets and 2-6 for the Nats. Simple math will tell you why things have changed so much.

June 9, 2012 Orioles 8, Phillies 5 (10)




A total of seven homeruns hit between the two teams today, with the big blows saved for the end. After Jimmy Rollins smacks a 2-run double in the top of the 9th to give the Phils a one run lead, Jonathan Papelbon can't hold that lead allowing Ryan Flaherty to rip his 2nd homer of the day over the wall to tie the game. The Phillies put the first two on in the top of the 10th and come up empty, but in the bottom of the 10th with two already out the Orioles go single, HBP and a 3-run walk off homerun for Wilson Betemit to give Paps his 4th loss of the year, along with his 7th blown save.

Right fielder Ryan Flaherty cracked 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Baltimore
Orioles defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in 10 innings 8 to 5 at Camden
Yards.

The score was knotted at 5 after nine innings. Baltimore ended up winning it
in the 10th inning. Chris Davis led off and keyed the rally when he drew a
walk. Adam Jones stepped up to the plate and he grounded into a double play.
Matt Wieters then laced a base-hit. Nick Johnson was up next and he was hit
by a pitch. Wilson Betemit stepped into the box and lofted a three-run
'big-fly' making Baltimore the victors to the delight of the home town
faithful. Baltimore finished with 11 hits in the victory.

The victory was credited to Kevin Gregg(1-2) who went 1 inning, allowing no
runs. Jonathan Papelbon(3-4) was hit with the loss in relief. He surrendered
4 runs and 4 hits in 1 and 2/3 innings.

June 8, 2012 Orioles 4, Phillies 3




Try as they might, the Phillies can't overcome an early 4-0 defecit and fall short by a run. They don'ty go down without a fight as they get a run in the 9th, and have the tying run thrown out at home for the final out of the game. Orioles started Jake Arrieta, tied with teammate Brian Matusz for the league lead in losses with 8, doesn't break that tie and gets a win. Joe Blanton of the Phils allows the four runs and gets the loss, though only one of the runs was earned due to three errors behind him.

Chris Davis connected with a 'big fly' as the Baltimore Orioles outscored the
Philadelphia Phillies 4 to 3.

Jake Arrieta(3-8) gave Baltimore a solid outing. He allowed 8 hits and no
walks in 5 and 2/3 innings. Arrieta struckout 6 Philadelphia batters.
Philadelphia made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the
needed runs across.

Jim Johnson got the save, his 13th. Joe Blanton(2-5) was tagged with the
loss. He pitched 5 innings and surrendered 8 hits and no walks.

'You have to give Philadelphia credit, they fought us tough to the end' Buck
Showalter said. 'It could have gone either way, but I'm glad we pulled out
the victory.'








Monday, July 29, 2013

June 7, 2012 Phillies 2, Dodgers 0




Cole Hamels tosses his 2nd shutout for the season, and also sets a season high in whiffs by striking out 11 Dodgers. Dodger starter AAron Harang is the hard-luck loser, as he did allow both runs but both were unearned! Hamels' 1.81 ERA puts him 4th in the majors in that department.

The Phillies hit the road next for the big chunk of their interleague play with series in Baltimore, Minnesota and Toronto before coming back home to face Tampa Bay. Three of those teams are no strangers to the Phils at all, as they have played them numerous times ion the interleague plus the World Series (losing to Baltimore in 1983, Toronto in 1993 and beating Tampa Bay in 2008), but they have not played the Twins very often. The Twins (or their previous incarnation the Washington Senators) have never been played in the World Series and have only been played in the interleague three other times. This will be the Phillies first trip to Minnesota since 2004.

Philadelphia totaled 7 hits on the afternoon.

Aaron Harang(3-6) was given the loss. He was a hard-luck loser, pitching 5

'Everything felt great' Hamels said. 'I had a good fastball, I felt I could
throw it by everybody today.'








Friday, July 26, 2013

June 6, 2012 Dodgers 6, Phillies 4




Two starting pitchers going in totally different directions get the decision today. Chris Capuano gets the win for the Dodgers, upping his record to 8-1 to give him the best winning percentage in the major leagues and tie him for the most wins in the majors with teammate Clayton Kershaw (8-2) and Justin Verlander of the Tigers (8-2). Kyle Kendrick of the Phillies ends up on the losing end, dropping to 1-7 and now in an 8-way tie for the second most losses in the majors. The most is 8 by three pitchers, Jake Arrieta of Baltimore (2-8), Clayton Richard of San Diego (2-8) and Tim Linecum of the Giants (also 2-8).

As far as I can tell, Kendrick's winning percentage of .125 (1-7) ties him with two other pitchers for the worst percentage for a starter. Juan Nicasio of Colorado and Carl Pavano of Minnesota also sit at 1-7 for the .125 percentage.

by the score of 6 to 4.

Chris Capuano(8-1) had a fairly solid outing. He allowed 9 hits and no walks
in 5 and 2/3 innings. Los Angeles(NL) had a total of 12 hits for the game.

Kenley Jansen preserved the game for Capuano, recording his his 13th save.
Kyle Kendrick(1-7) was the losing pitcher. He was unable to control the Los
Angeles(NL) offense and allowed 9 hits and 3 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.

'He gutted it out' Don Mattingly said of Capuano. 'I was very impressed by
his tenacity.'








June 5, 2012 Phillies 3, Dodgers 2




Cliff Lee strikes out 10 and almost goes the distance, but after allowing a baserunner in the 9tyh gives way to Jonathan Papelbon. Paps allows that runner to score, but get former Phillie Bobby Abreu to ground into a doubleplay to end the game. The Phils win the game despite being outhit, 10-8.

The juniors ran rampant for the Dodgers today, with Ivan Dejesus Jr. coming in to pinch-run in the 9th whose father is of course Ivan DeJesus who spent time with the Phillies back in the mid 1980s. Tony Gwynn Jr. also started for the Dodgers and has two hits in the game (son of obviously the great Tony Gwynn) and Jerry Hairston Jr. also started for L.A. (son of obviously Jerry Hairston, and brother of Scott Hairston).

Hunter Pence had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and Cliff Lee whiffed 10 batters as the
Philadelphia Phillies outscored the Los Angeles(NL) Dodgers 3 to 2.

Lee(3-2) delivered a fine performance for Philadelphia. He was reached for 9
hits and 1 walk in 8 and 1/3 innings. Los Angeles(NL) had a chance in the
9th but they came up short.

Lee was helped out by Jonathan Papelbon who recorded his 12th save. The loss
was charged to Chad Billingsley(3-7). Charlie Manuel was asked about the
performance of Lee, 'He had his good stuff out there tonight. The fans
really get into it when the strikeouts start mounting up - and that seems to
give him even more adrenalin.'

June 4, 2012 Dodgers 7, Phillies 2




To begin a 4 game series in their only trip to Philadelphia this year, the Dodgers have no trouble dispatching the Phillies today. The Phils really only have pitcher Vance Worley to blame. Worley, in his first start in almost a month after a stint on the DL, totally becomes unglued in the 6th inning. With two outs in the inning and trailing 2-0, Worley falls apart by allowing a single and three straight walks. The third walk, to opposing pitcher Clayton Kershaw, knocks a runner home. He struck out the final batter of that 6th, but then it gets worse. Worley begtins the 7th with a single (runner caught stealing), then a single, double, and intentional walk to load the bases. That brings in pitcher Chad Qualls, and his first pitch is ripped over the fence by A. J. Ellis for a grand slam homerun and puts the game out of reach. Six total runs charged to Worley, and Ellis has a 4 for 4 day while knocking in 5 runs.

IRL, the Dodgers swept this four game series. For the Dodgers, it was their first series sweep in Philadelphia since a 3 game sweep in 1997, and the first four game sweep of the Phillies in Philly in almost 70 years, since 1946. They did sweep the Phils in a four game series in LA back in 2008.

6th inning and cleared the bases with a Grand Slam homerun in the 7th inning.
Los Angeles(NL) rapped out 11 hits for the night.

Clayton Kershaw(8-2) picked up the victory, allowing 1 run in 5 and 2/3
innings. Vance Worley(1-3) was the losing pitcher. He surrendered 6 runs in

Miami scores a run in the first inning and two more in the 2nd, proving to be enough for the win as they take two out of three in the series.

May 2, 2012 Phillies 5, Marlins 4




Almost a hard-luck loss for the Phils as they oouthit Miami all game, but trail by a run 4-3 when Brian Schneider plays hero with a pinch-hit 2-run homerun in the 7th inning for what proves to be the winner. The Phils outhit Miami 12-5 for the game, and the Phils leave 13 men on base compared to only 2 for the Marlins.

Phillie pinch-hitters have fared rather well for the year so far, with a .236 average (17 for 72) and 3 pinch-hit homeruns. Even the pitchers have done pretty good with the bat, overall batting .207 (24 for 116) and one homerun, that one by Cole Hamels.

One run was the difference at Citizens Bank Park as the Philadelphia Phillies
defeated the Miami Fins 5 to 4.

Raul Valdes(4-0) contributed a very nice performance in relief. He didn't
allow much, just 1 hit and no walks in 1 inning. Miami made it exciting in
the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.

Valdes got help from Jonathan Papelbon who earned his 11th save. Steve
Cishek(4-1) was the losing pitcher in relief. Ozzie Guillen was in a sour
mood after the game. 'Even you guys up in the press box know why we lost
this game. We made too many mistakes.'
