Last night in South Philly, newly acquired Brad Penny showed he still has the stuff that made him an All Star not long ago. He quieted the bats of the Philadelphia offense for 8 shut out innings en route to a 4-0 Giants win over the Phils. Penny only allowed 5 hits and walked 1 batter. On the mound for the Phillies J.A. Happ let up 4 runs on 8 hits while striking out 7. Most of the damage came in the 6th which he let up 2 home runs to Juan Uribe and former Phillie Aaron Rowand and the Phils couldn't come back from the deficit. With the Phillies loss they still hold a 7.5 game lead in the NL East over the Braves who lost to the Marlins last night. The Giants are still battling for the wildcard spot with Colorado and are only 1 game back from them. Tonight is an interesting matchup as CY Young winner and hopeful this year Tim Linecum(13-4) goes against Pedro Martinez(2-0) to wrap up the series at 7:05.
