Jayson Werth hit his 4th home run in 3 games and Ryan Howard once again homered as the Phillies completed a 3 game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 12-3 win last night in South Philly. Country Joe Blanton pitched 8 solid innings to earn the win improving to 8-6 on the year. Blanton did allow 10 hits and 3 runs but he got the outs when he needed them. Chad Durbin came into the game for the 9th with the game and series pretty much already done with. For the third straight night a Phillies pitcher also got 2 hits at the plate proving that this offensive machine is not just limited for the 1 thru 8 hitters, everyone gets in on the action. The win was the Phillies 4th in a row, eighth of nine. They now hold a 6.5 game lead over the Braves and Marlins.
Up next for the Phils is a ride up north against our rivals the New York Mets for a 4 game set. On the mound for game 1 is Cole Hamels(7-7) and Mike Pelfrey(8-8).
