Cole Hamels looks on after Gaby Sanchez' eighth-inning home run. If the Phillies are going to win, they need to hit. As Charlie Manuel said after a 5-0 loss to the Cardinals on Saturday, Ryan Howard has to hit, Chase Utley has to hit and Jimmy Rollins has to hit. Neither of them did that […]
Ben Revere hit the go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning. The Phillies left the go-ahead run on third base in the sixth and seventh innings. Ben Revere was the one who stranded the runner in the sixth by grounding into a double play with the bases loaded to end the inning. Redemption is oh […]
Carlos Beltran hit his third home run of the series in the fifth inning. The Phillies used a big inning of Friday night to coast to a win. On Saturday, it was the Cardinals doing the same. Backed by a solid pitching performance from Lance Lynn, the Cardinals jumped on a shaky Cliff Lee and […]
Cliff Lee goes for his third win of the season in Saturday night's game against the Cardinals. Friday night's game at Citizens Bank Park was certainly a different tune from previous games. After scoring just 10 runs on a six-game road trip and adding just three in Thursday night's loss, the Phillies came one runs […]
Roy Halladay's win on Sunday was the 200th of his career. It was also the last time the Phillies won a game. The Phillies needed one base hit to get back to winning ways last night. When they needed it most, the team that managed 13 hits off the Cardinals ace and bullpen couldn't get […]

Zach Smith opened the scoring in the Senators' 3-1 win over the Flyers. A push for the playoff will now turn to playing for pride. The Flyers could have made a run at the final playoff spot after winning four straight games, capped off by a 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs just a week […]
Jake Voracek scored the only goal in the Flyers' 4-1 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday. The Flyers didn't help themselves after a four-game winning streak and five-game points streak was snapped on Saturday when they lost to the New York Islanders on Tuesday. That might have put the nail in the coffin on the […]
Jay Rosehill's goal late in the second proved to be the game-winner in the Flyers fourth straight win, a 5-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. This time, they didn't come from behind. But the Flyers brought the same energy they did in their previous three games. The Flyers would up their season-high winning streak […]
Erik Gustafsson scored the game-winning goal in the Flyers' 5-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night, the third straight win for the Flyers. Matt Read called them the comeback kids. The Flyers are certainly making the third period interesting and exciting. After last night's 5-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens, the first time […]
