Josh Beckett is one of the best pitchers in baseball but after watching today's game against the Phillies you would of been able to tell he was one of the best pitchers. The Phillies roughed up Josh Beckett for seven runs (six earned runs) in six innings today.
J.A. Happ had another rough start. He really struggled with his command and in the second inning he gave up four runs. To Happ's credit he did settle in. He threw three scoreless innings after that. The Phillies hammered Beckett in the fifth, the came back to take the lead 5-4. In the sixth Happ gave up a solo homerun to pitcher Josh Beckett. With two outs Chan Ho Park relieved Happ. In the seventh the Phillies slaughtered the Red Sox' pitching by scoring six runs, led by a Jimmy Rollins homerun. Park did a great job out of the bullpen. He pitched 2 1/3 and did not allow any earned runs. The Phillies really needed Park to suck up some innings because there were a lot of guys that they didn't want to pitch because they had to pitch in the previous games against the Red Sox. In the ninth in a non save situation Ryan Madson clinched the 11-6 win for the Phillies.
UP NEXT
Phillies:Hamels followed his best performance of the season -- a shutout at Dodger Stadium on June 4 -- with a mediocre effort against the Mets at Citi Field on Wednesday. Now, this was not a regular Cole outing. He allowed a season-high 11 hits (he also allowed 11 hits in his season debut April 10 in Colorado) and four runs and two walks in five innings. This is the first time Hamels has faced the Blue Jays in his career.
Blue Jays:Ricky Romero is pitching for the Blue Jays. He had a good outing last start against the Rangers. In 6 1/3 innings he only gave up one run. The big thing for Romero was that he didn't allow any homeruns. The Phillies should have success against Romero because Citizens Bank Park is more of a hitter friendly ballpark and with the potent lineup the Phillies have, they should be fine.
