Whoa A Win!.

The Phillies finally broke their 8 game losing streak by beating the San Francisco Giants 7 to 3 behind a great game by John Lannan and the offense. The long ball after all these months finally helped the Phillies. Michael Young and Carlos Ruiz went long giving the Phillies a comfortable lead and every Phillie starter except Kevin Frandsen got a hit. John Lannan pitched another great game, pitching 7 innings, 2 BB, 3 ER, and 3 K’s. Carlos  Ruiz finally hit his first home run of the season and it was a long one. After the game Young talked about finally breaking the streak, “Nice to get back and play in front of a home crowd — I don’t think they held that road trip against us,” said Michael Young, who hit a two-run homer in the victory. “They came out with some good energy; we fed off of that. There’s no way around the fact that we needed a win, so it was nice to get” (1). The Phillies look to continue their winning streak tonight when Kyle Kendrick takes the mound against Chris Gaudin. The game may look different depending on the outcome of the trading deadline that is at 4pm today. The game regardless will start at 7:05pm on Comcast SportsNet.
