Astros 4, Phillies 3The recent offensive woes of the Phillies have now reached Jeltzian proportions. The good news is the team still holds a 6½ game lead in the NL East with 28 games to play. With the Marlins losing today, the magic number to clinch the division decreased to 21.
There's not much to report on today's game. The offense was provided by solo home runs from Jimmy Rollins, Ben Francisco and Jayson Werth. Cole Hamels looked hittable again, and his body language on the mound after getting hit around wasn't good. The team tries to avoid the series sweep tomorrow in a Labor Day matinee.
More Call-Ups: Shane Victorino and Ryan Madson are nursing injuries so the team recalled John Mayberry, Jr. and Kyle Kendrick from AAA Lehigh Valley prior to the game.

What happened to Madson?
He may have just been unavailable due to a heavy workload over the last few days. I thought I had heard Franzke mention an injury, but I can't find anything about it.
What really makes me nervous is that Jamie Moyer is making an emergency start today in place of J.A. Happ. Not good.
Madson & Happ are having oblique problems, which is the medical way of saying they hurt their tummies.
