15 hits, 13 runs…that's what it took for the Phillies to win their 49th game of the season and get a head start on the second half of the season. Although Kyle Kendrick surrendered six earned runs through 5 2/3 innings his offense gave him enough run support to give him his ninth win of […]

With last night's loss the Phillies fell back to 44-47 and remained 7 1/2 games out of first in the NL East.
