J.A Happ did it again tonight. He threw another great outing. Happ went seven innings and only allowed one run, en route to his 10th win of the season. Happ had a lot of base runners on tonight but did a really good job of getting of out any jam that came his way. Ryan Madson pitched a scoreless eighth inning, then it was Brad Lidge time. With a 4-1 lead going into the ninth inning Lidge was trying to get the save for the Phillies. He got the save and preserved the win for the Phillies. Lidge was very impressive in his inning of work tonight. He had an easy 1-2-3 inning. The Bridge to Lidge did there job tonight.
Phillie killer Tim Redding was pitching for the Mets tonight. He continued his dominance against the Phillies by throwing five scoreless innings. Redding had to come out of the game because he was on a pitch count. But as soon as the Mets bullpen came in, it was all downhill from there. Chase Utley hit a two-run home run, and then they added on two more runs.

Phillies:Pedro Martinez had been throwing well against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park until a severe storm rolled through and cut his night short. In three innings, Martinez allowed two hits, one run and one home run in three innings. He struck out three and retired the final eight batters he faced. The home run he allowed to Stephen Drew barely cleared the right-field wall -- a ball that would not have been a home run in most parks. Martinez gets to face the Mets, his former team Sunday at Citi Field.
Mets:Oliver Perez labored through five innings against the Braves on Tuesday, allowing four runs (on two home runs) in five innings while aggravating an injury in his right knee when covering first base. Even as his ERA jumped back over 6.00 for the season, Perez notched his first win in seven starts and evened his record on the season.
