The first game back after the All-Star break was not a pretty one for Jamie Moyer and the Phillies as they were handed a 12-6 loss in Wrigley Field.
Moyer was lit up for 6 runs on 5 hits in 3 innings. Jose Contreras didn't fare any better as the Cubbies tagged him for 5 runs in only 2/3 of an inning.
The Phillies pitching staff is showing its inconsistency and it is clear they need to get a more reliable starter before the trade deadline. Trying to add on too there 4 game sweep against the Reds the Phils pitching couldn't keep them in the game.
Ryan Howard had an all-star night, as the big piece belted 2 monster 2 run homers.
Tonight Joe Blanton takes on Ted Lily to try and get the Fightins back on track as they are 5.5 games behind 1st place Atlanta.
Editors note....Sorry for the short post but I am at work trying to watch the British Open on my computer and act like I am working all at the same time. Very busy Friday.
