Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani It had been 13 games since the Phillies had lost a game at Petco Park. But as we know, all streaks come to an end sometime. The Padres routed the Phils 5-1 last night, winning their first game at home against the Phillies for the first time since 2008. Roy Halladay wasn't as […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) It never ends, does it? Cliff Lee has been placed on the DL with a left oblique strain retroactive to Thursday. Lee injured his oblique in the 10th inning. Lee is coming off of a spectacular 10 shut out-inning outing against the Giants. The Phillies ended up losing 1-0 in the 11th […]
This afternoon, Chicago White Sox righty Philip Humber tossed a perfect game against the Seattle Mariners. The White Sox scored four runs for Humber who did the rest of the work, striking out 9 Mariners through 9 perfect innings. Humber threw just 96 pitches, 67 for strikes. Humber's perfect game is the 21st in MLB history as […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phillies have already won the first two of four games against the Padres, totalling their stretch of consecutive wins at Petco Park at 13. The Padres, having only scored just one run during the first two games, will have no easy task tonight either. Reason why? Roy Halladay. Tonight, Doc (3-0, 1.17 […]
The Phillies have won 12 consecutive games at Petco Park in San Diego. Currently, that is the longest active winning streak for any team at any set ball park. Usually Petco Park is some what of a re-boost period for the Phillies. Coming into a four-game series, the Phillies are hoping to pull their heads […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The series is split one a piece thus far. Roy Halladay beat out Tim Lincecum and the Giants 5-2 Monday night while Madison Bumgarner and the Giants' bats beat out Joe Blanton and held the Phillies to just two runs last night. Tonight is the series finale and the Phillies are looking […]
It took him two previous tries that both resulted in losses, but last night 49 year-old Jamie Moyer took to the hill in Denver and made history. Jamie Moyer became the oldest pitcher to ever win a major league game at the age of 49 years and 151 days. Moyer beat out former Brooklyn Dodger […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) It's going to be a long week with these games starting at 10:15 PM ET. I didn't stay up to see Papelbon close out the 9th inning, but I did stay awake for Doc's outing. Doc was fantastic last night in the Phillies 5-2 win over San Francisco. Doc earned his third […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) After coming off series loss to the New York Mets, the Phillies are hitting the West Coast for a 10-game road trip. Even though the Phillies lost the series against the Mets, they prevented the sweep as they routed the Mets to win 8-2. The Phillies are hoping that going West with […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phillies have activated Jose Contreras this afternoon and have sent Joe Savery down to Triple-A Lehigh. This news, coming right after the Phillies' 8-2 win over the Mets, is the first transaction news in awhile. Jose Contreras, who had elbow surgery late last season, had started the 2012 season on the DL […]
