Moyer Finally Reaches 250

After 647 games pitched in the Major League's, Jamie Moyer finally got his 250th career victory. Jamie pitched six superb innings today and only gave up one run. The Phillies bats helped him out by a first inning double by Chase Utley that scored Shane Victorino. Then, in the second inning Chris Coste homered to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead. Jamie Moyer exited after six innings and he was in line for the win. Clay Condrey pitched the seventh and gave up a solo homerun to Josh Willingham. Then the bridge to Lidge was in effect. Ryan Madson pitched a scoreless eighth inning. Brad Lidge is showing everyone that his rough patch last week was just a fluke with another save. After two months into the season the Phillies are in first place in the National League East. They are ahead of the Mets by only a half a game and plan on that lead growing as the season progresses.
UP NEXT
The Phillies will take a trip out to the West Coast to play the San Diego Padres. Joe Blanton will look to build off of his success from his last outing against the Florida Marlins. Blanton tweaked his mechanics in the stretch before his last start, and it helped him with runners on base. Kevin Correia will pitch for the Padres. Correia was roughed up in his last outing against the Diamondbacks. He allowed six runs in a 6-5 loss in Arizona. Correia is looking to bounce back from his bad outing and shut down the Phillies potent lineup.
