Phils Slug Past Cardinals


Rodrigo Lopez has been very consistent for the Phillies since he has been called up. Today was no different. In six innings Lopez gave up three runs over 10 hits. Rodrigo did a good job of scattering all of those hits because usually when a team has 10 hits off of a starting pitcher it means they crushed him.
The Phillies did a great job offensively today. In the first inning they got three runs off of Kyle Lohse. Lohse' command was not very good and the Phillies took advantage of it. Then in the sixth inning the game was tied 3-3 and the Phillies had the bases loaded and Jimmy Rollins hit a grand slam to untie the game. Then, Shane Victorino was the next batter and he also homered. After that the Phillies added on a few more runs and they went on to win 14-6.
Also, the Blue Jays proposed a trade to the Phillies today. This was the proposal.
Phillies Receive Blue Jays Receive
Roy Halladay Kyle Drabek

J.A. Happ
Dominic Brown
The Phillies rejected the offer. A Blue Jays talent coordinator said that if a deal is to get done Kyle Drabek and J.A. Happ will have to be included.
UP NEXT
Phillies:Joe Blanton is on a roll. He allowed just five hits and one run in seven innings Tuesday against the Cubs. He walked none and struck out five. Blanton started the season 2-3 with a 7.11 ERA in his first eight starts, but is 4-1 with a 2.43 ERA (17 earned runs in 63 innings) in 10 starts since May 21.
Cardinals:If you remember, you might recall last year when the Phillies scored 20 runs against the Cardinals. Well the pitcher for them was Todd Wellemeyer. He was also pitch tomorrow against the Phillies. So far this year Wellemeyer is 7-8 with a 5.68 ERA. He is more of a fly ball pitcher which will not help him if he is pitching in Citizens Bank Park against the Phillies.
