Phillies 10, Rockies 2Game 97 - Saturday Night, July 24th in Philadelphia
The day and night were mostly a joyous blur, as we celebrated my sister's wedding yesterday. At some point, someone at the reception informed me the Phils had just scored 7 runs in the 3rd, knocking out Rockies' ace Ubaldo Jimenez in the process. It seemed too good to be true, but fortunately the report turned out to be accurate.
When the dust had settled, my dancing feet hurt, and the Phils' bats had come to life for the second straight game. Ryan Howard started the party in Philly with a 3-run triple in the 3rd, right around the time the members of the wedding party were gearing up to be introduced in the reception hall. By the time the bride and groom were enjoying their first dance, Jimmy Rollins had added a 2-run triple and it was 7-0 Phils. The suddenly hot Raul Ibañez contributed a 2-run home run, his 8th, in the 6th inning.
Kyle Kendrick returned to the rotation, pitching 7 strong innings and allowing just 1 run on 6 hits for his 6th win of the season. In his Major League debut, Vance Worley pitched a scoreless 9th for the Phillies. Worley will eventually be card #45 in this year's Chachi set.
