| Jayson Werth carries the hot bat of the day, having a hand in almost half of the Phillie runs with 3 hits, 3 RBI and scoring twice as the Phillies win their first series of the year. Ties or trailing most of the game, the Phils strike late with Werth's solo homer in the 6th, a runs coring on a wild pitch in the 7th and two more in the 8th when Werth hits an RBI single and later scores on a Carlos Ruiz sac fly. 16 hits for the Braves only nets them 3 runs on the scoreboard. Stopper Brad Lidge gets an unexpected plate appearance as he comes into the game to pitch with the bases loaded and two out in the 8th, retires one batter to end the inning and when the Phils get the big bottom of the 8th Lidge comes to the plate as the 7th batter of the inning for his first time to the plate since 2004. Lidge strikes out to end the inning, and retires the Braves in order in the top of the 9th for his first save of the season. |
