Phillies split DH with Marlins; pull within half-game of Braves
Baseball Betting Lines
09/06/2010 -
Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chase Utley and Placido Polanco each had
two hits and two RBI, and Roy Oswalt won his fifth straight decision as the
Phillies downed the Marlins, 7-4, to close out a day-night doubleheader and
inch closer to the division lead.
Philadelphia lost the opener of the twin-bill, 7-1, thanks to Florida's
Adalberto Mendez pitching six shutout innings in his major league debut, but
with the win in the nightcap and Atlanta's loss to Pittsburgh earlier in the
day, the club pulled within a half-game over the National League East front-
runners by stopping a short two-game slide.
Oswalt (11-13) survived home-run balls to Mike Stanton, Hanley Ramirez and
Cameron Maybin to get the win. The right-hander was charged with four runs on
six hits and a walk to go with seven strikeouts in as many frames.
Anibal Sanchez (11-9) didn't have as much success as Mendez, surrendering
seven runs on seven hits and three walks in four-plus innings for the Marlins,
who had won four of five coming into this four-game series.
In the away second, Stanton gave the Marlins an early lead by crushing a
payoff pitch into the second deck in left.
The Phillies responded with a five-spot in the bottom half. After loading the
bases with no outs, Sanchez walked Carlos Ruiz to force in a run before Shane
Victorino, who had three hits, plated Raul Ibanez with a base hit.
Though Dominic Brown was thrown out at home on the play, Polanco kept the
inning alive by lacing a ground-rule double down the third base line to bring
in a pair. Utley followed with a run-scoring single to left for a 5-1 game.
Oswalt walked Logan Morrison in the third in front of Ramirez before yielding
a home run to the slugging shortstop, then served up a solo long ball to
Maybin two innings later.
The Phillies got two of the runs back in the home fifth, as Polanco tripled
off the wall in center to start the inning and raced home on Utley's single up
the middle. Ibanez's one-out double made it a three-run game, and the bullpen
behind Oswalt finished it off.
Ryan Madson retired three straight in the eighth after J.C. Romero walked the
leadoff batter, and Brad Lidge worked around a two-out single in the ninth for
his 21st save of the season.
Game Notes
This doubleheader was made necessary when the middle contest of a slated
three-game set in Philadelphia on June 9 was postponed...The four earned runs
were the most Oswalt has given up since his debut with the Phillies on July
30. He had allowed just one run in 21 1/3 innings coming into the
game...Stanton's home run was his 17th, Ramirez now has 21 and Maybin upped
his total to eight.
