The Phillies certainly won in dramatic fashion yesterday with Darin Ruf's walkoff home run over Atlanta. Coincidentally, Ruf was informed that he was being optioned to AAA after the game.

Roy Halladay dealed over four innings, despite a little controversy surrounding his throw behind OF Tyler Moore.
