Domonic Brown drives in 3 in 7-1 win

Written by Mike Mariano | 05 August 2010

The Braves got a win yesterday, but the Phillies answered with one of their own to keep the race at 2 games.  I'm laying on a beach in NC so abbreviated game notes for you:

• Domonic Brown had 3 RBIs, matching his current career total and added nice defensive play on a catch in the gap and a outfield assist at the plate gunning down a runner before scoring.
• Raul Ibanez also drove in two.  His hit streak is up to twelve games.
• Kyle Kendrick threw 6 strong and had the Phillies only extra base hit of the day -- a double.
• The rain delay seemed to affect Marlins starter Anibal Sanchez who struggled early.

The Phillies now sit 2.5 out of the Wild Card as well.  Today is another good chance to gain ground as the Braves see Tim Lincecum who has more career wins against the Brave than any other team.
