Phillies win w/ Halladay domination, sans Rhyno

Written by Mike Mariano | 04 August 2010

Throwing Roy Halladay is a recipe for success, it's a wonder how he ever lost eight games in his career, let alone this year.  The Doc went seven allowing one run on five hits and striking out nine.  The lone run came off a Dan Uggla home run early in the game, but that was the end of the threats.  Chad Durbin finished out the last two innings allowing a few hits, but no runs.

Minus Ryan Howard, Shane Victorino, Chase Utley and co. the team still found a way to win.  Only Jayson Werth didn't have a hit for the Phillies.  Roy Halladay even had a two-rbi double which doubles his career RBI total to 4!  Ben Francisco and Chuuch supplied the power and 6 runs was all the Phillies would need to cruise to victory.

The Braves lead has been shrunk to two games and the wild card is 3.5.  For those wondering at home, the Mets are 6.5 out of the division, but the Phillies appreciate all help they can offer by beating the Braves.
