Phillies Bats are hot!!!!

Cole Hamels showed no signs of injury and pitched rather well with the exception of a couple runs given up on the 4th. With the loss to the Mets, however I think a chink in the armor has been revealed in that of Jamie Moyer. Moyer let up too many runs early in the game and the young Happ stepped in and showed the veteran how it should be done. With that loss to the Mets the Phillies came back home with winning on their mind. Hamels played his part and the Phils bats were hot again and a combo of the long ball and some good defense led the Phils to a 10-6 win. The bases got loaded early, with a series of walks and a squibb hit from hamels led to a 4 run early start for the Phils. Werth hit a line drive 2 run bomb to left field which extended the Phils lead to 6 in the 3rd. Coste a had a solo homer in the 4th, and Utley had a mega-bomb solo homer which was blasted to the upper deck. The sound off the bat was tremendous and that extened Utley's HR's to 9 and he extended his RBI's to 22 and Werth extended his to 21. Coste, Dobbs, Rollins, and Feliz added onto their RBI's finishing off the Braves 10-6. Today's game should be great with Blanton starting on the mound and with today's win should keep the Phils in first place in the NL east.
