Since I forgot to blog each game, I'm just going to recap the series briefly and move on to the next ga.mes....like the one that was on tonight. (Sorry, Dr. Green!)Tuesday night, the Phillies lost to the Nationals by three scored runs of a of 4-7 game. Joe Blanton struggled through the game while Livan Hernandez kept the Phillies down for almost 7 innings.
Ex-Phillies' player, Jayson Werth, went 2 for 3, while hitting a home-run and a double in the first game. Ryan Howard also hit a home-run, hitting his third this season.
The second game, the Phillies took victory by one run in a 3-2 game. The Nationals scored their only runs in the 9th inning to Roy Halladay, but since the Phillies had 3 runs, they needed an extra run to tie it.
Shutting out the Nationals 4-0, the Phillies overtook the series.
Cliff Lee pitched fabulously by pitching a three -hit shutout, with 12 total strikeouts. Lee completed the game with his sixth shutout during his baseball career. In the 6th inning, Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz hit the leadoff home run to left field, making the score 1-0. Another run was scored in the same inning and two were scored in the 8th inning making the final score of the game 4-0.
As much as I hate to see Werth leave, he is not worth nearly close to the amount of money Howard is. See Werth blended in with the amazing players in Philly, and D.C expects him to be an all-star for them...Highly unlikely.
ReplyDeleteWerth did have a good night. As I'm sitting here in my Werth t-shirt, I'll admit, I'm sad to see him leave. However, I agree with you, Justin. He did blend in with the Phils. I guess the season will only tell what he will do for the Nats.
