TwitterThe Phillies must not have thought that the 4th of July fireworks were enough because they had some fireworks of their own tonight. The festivities started off early with a 10 run first inning for the Phillies that was capped off by a three run homer by Chase Utley. Eight of those runs were with 2 outs. They went on to hit four home runs in the game, including a Grand Slam by Jayson Werth to end the game. The Phillies margin of victory was their largest since 1894. The box score for this game is mind boggling: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=290706122. The 1-2 combo of Rollins and Victorino went 7-9 with 3 walks, 5 RBIs, and 9 runs scored. All of this was done against starter Johnny Cueto, who came into the game with the NL’s 4th best ERA. He left the game after giving up 9 runs in 0.2 innings of work, a 121.5 ERA for the game. Cole Hamels was almost an afterthought in this game, but he pitched beautifully. Cole went 7 strong innings, letting up only 1 run on a solo home run. If you want to watch the 1st inning again, it will be on Comcast from 10:44-11:15 tonight.

July 6th, 2009 BroadStreetHero In case you missed the 1st inning of tonight’s Phillies vs. Reds game, here are some stats from the inning:
- The Phillies scored 10 runs in the inning. This is the 4th time they have done this in their history.
- The Phillies sent 13 batters to the plate, and Ryan Howard was the only one to not reach base at least once.
- Shane Victorino, Greg Dobbs, and Chase Utley each hit a home run.
- Cole Hamels had his 3rd hit of the season, a 2 run double.

As for the rest of the game, Cole Hamels has pitched excellent through 7 innings besides giving up a solo home run. The Phillies tacked on eight more runs to bring the score to 18-1. Jimmy Rollins is batting .526 (10-19) in his last 5 games with 5 walks and only one strikeout, hopefully a sign that he is out of his season long slump. Shane Victorino is making his statement for that 33rd roster spot on the All Star team with a 4-5 night and 4 RBIs.
