The Phillies found the kind of game that they were looking for. A game where they hit well and pitched well. The pitching part was all because of J.A. Happ. Happ threw his first complete game shutout to propel the Phillies to a 10-0 win. Happ threw nine innings and only gave up five hits and the most important part zero earned runs. This was a must needed pitching performance. The Phillies bullpen has been taxed lately. It seems like every night every reliever is being used.
The Phillies bats first came to life in the first inning. They hit two, two-run first inning homeruns by Jayson Werth and Predro Feliz. Then, they tacked on more runs in innings four, five, and six, to make there lead 10-0. Jayson Werth came close to the cycle. He was only a triple short of the cycle. That was 1100 player to ever be short of the cycle by a triple.

Phillies:Moyer allowed one run on five hits while allowing three walks and striking out four in six innings to pick up the 251st win of his career Tuesday in a victory over Tampa Bay. It tied him for 43rd place on baseball's all-time list with Bob Gibson. Moyer needs two more wins to tie Carl Hubbell (253) for 42nd place on the all-time list.
Blue Jays:Tallet shut out the Reds for six innings on Tuesday at Rogers Centre, earning a win in the Jays' 7-5 victory. Although Tallet was having no trouble with the Reds and had throw only 90 pitches, he was pulled from the game after the sixth inning, since he was pitching on only three days' rest. Tallet has never started against the Phillies, but has made six career appearances against them as a reliever, pitching 9 1/3 innings with an ERA of 3.86.
