Pedro Martinez was making his second start with the Phillies. In the first inning Stephen Drew led off the game with a homerun. Now, the homerun was rather, cheap. It was one of those Citizens Bank Park homeruns. But then all of a sudden, in the third inning the rains came. The rain delay lasted one hour and six minutes. Pedro did not come back out for the fourth inning. Jamie Moyer came in, he was making his first relief appearance of the season. Moyer did a great job, pitching six scoreless innings.
The phils offense got started in the third inning, with some help from the Diamondbacks and there lack of defense the Phillies took the lead and never looked back. Jayson Werth hit his 25th homerun of the season and that is his career high in homeruns. Carlos Ruiz capped off the offense for the night by hitting a solo shot. The Phillies won 5-1 and took game one of the series.
UP NEXT
Phillies:In eight strong innings Thursday against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Cliff Lee allowed six hits, one run and three walks and struck out eight. He is 3-0 with a 1.13 ERA in three starts with the Phillies. He has allowed 16 hits, three runs and six walks in 24 innings.
Diamondbacks:Dan Haren pitched well in his last outing, against the Dodgers, allowing just one run on six hits over eighth innings and outdueling Clayton Kershaw. It was a good bounce-back game for Haren, who had struggled some in his previous four outings. Over that span, he allowed 16 earned runs in 23 innings -- not necessarily awful, but not up to the standards he set in the season's first half.
