Tonight's game on paper was suppose to be a pitching duel. But the game is not played on paper it's played between the lines. The Phillies didn't waste anytime getting to Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto. In the first inning the Phillies scored 10 runs. Shane Victorino and Greg Dobbs both hit two-run homeruns in the inning and Chase Utley hit a three-run homerun later in the inning. After that you could just put your feet up and relax.
Cole Hamels pitched really well tonight. In seven innings, Cole only gave up one run. The Phillies went on to win this game 22-1. This does not happen often and will not happen often, let's just hope that they didn't use up all of there runs tonight and get shutout tomorrow.
UP NEXT
Phillies:J.A. Happ has been the Phillies' best starter lately. He is 5-0 with a 2.96 ERA. He followed a June 27 shutout against the Blue Jays by only allowing seven hits and two runs in seven innings Thursday against the Braves. He passed a big test for Charlie Manuel in the seventh inning of that game when he got Chipper Jones to fly out with runners at the corners with two outs. Happ seems to be gaining confidence with every start.
Reds:Aaron Harang pitched another outing worthy of a win last Thursday against the D-backs, but he couldn't get any run support. Harang tossed seven innings and allowed two runs on four hits, but he left the game with his team trailing, 2-1. The Reds would rally to win, 3-2, but Harang remained stuck on his fifth win. He hasn't won a game since May 25, against the Astros, despite posting a number of quality starts during that stretch.
