Kendrick and Brown Seal The Win
Last night was a game that you sat back and thought ok we got this, and the Phillies did not disappoint! The game was sealed after the hot hitting Domonic Brown continued his home run streak and Kyle Kendrick doing his best Cliff Lee impersonation. The Phillies won over the Marlins 7 to 2 after a Kendrick complete game. Domonic Brown has finally become the real deal and has become the NL leader in home runs after hitting his 17th last night. Everyone except Jimmy Rollins had a hit in the lineup, including Kendrick. Kendrick stats for the night were 9 IP, 6 H, 1 BB, and 2 ER. Kendrick after the game said about his performance, “It was fun, obviously, the hit was awesome. My dad was here, so I’m sure he enjoyed it. [Erik Kratz] called a good game, I was pounding the strike zone early and I was able to keep my pitch count down. It was a fun night, that’s for sure” (1). Domonic Brown has now become the talk of town after all these years and before the game he was named NL Player of the [May] Month. Brown after the game on his stellar season so far, “I’m not really big on numbers, I kind of go off my at-bats. I go and watch my at-bats every day and see which ones are good and eliminate the bad ones and just keep improving at not giving at-bats away. That’s really the main objective — not giving any at-bats away” (1). The Phillies got RBI’s from Kratz and Delmon Young, who hit a HR after Brown hit his 17th. Cesar Hernandez got his first MLB RBI last night and Revere and Kendrick help get the 7 runs to beat the Marlins. The Phillies look to win three in a row when they will send Jonathan Pettibone to the mound, he is coming off a rough start against the Red Sox on May 30th. The Marlins will counter with Ricky Nolasco who is 0 and 1 against the Phillies this season. It is Carlos Ruiz Bobble head night tonight at the ballpark, it is free to all fans! The game starts at 7:05pm and will be featured on Comcast SportsNet.
