Roy Halladay who? This tremendous outing by Cliff Lee will make the Philadelphia fans quickly forget about they guy they really wanted in Roy Halladay. Cliff Lee did it all tonight. He pitched a complete game and only gave up one run, he fielded his position beautifully, and he also swung a great bat. Cliff Lee had a no-hitter after 5 1/3 innings until Juan Uribe hit a fly ball to rightfield that just went fair. It was nice to give the bullpen a day off. Hopefully Cliff can do this a lot more often for the Phils.
Jayson Werth hit a solo homerun in the second inning and they Phillies weren't getting any clutch hitting. In the seventh inning, Jeremy Affeldt was having some control problems and Jayson Werth got a big single that scored two runs. The Phillies went on to win the game 5-1.
UP NEXT
Phillies:Joe Blanton has been phenomenal over the past two months. He tied his season high by lasting eight innings against the Cardinals on Sunday, allowing two runs and striking out six. In July, he has surrendered just four runs in 29 1/3 innings, good for a 1.21 ERA. He is 5-1 since May 9. The lone loss? He allowed two runs and struck out 10 Rays on June 24.
Giants:Tim Lincecum didn't allow an earned run -- he allowed two unearned -- in his complete-game effort Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He allowed just four hits and struck out a career-high 15 batters. In fact, he's whiffed eight or more in nine straight outings. It's all keeping the right-hander on pace with teammate Matt Cain and the rest of the National League's elite pitchers.
