| The Phillies set season highs for runsand hits as they give the Mets and Johan Santana a shellacking that they will not forget anytime soon. Almost half of the 21 hits belong to Shane Victorini and Ryan Howard. Victorino goes 5 for 6, hitting a homerun in the 9th to hit for the cycle, and Howard gets a 4 for 6 day with two doubles. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana allows 9 of those runs and 14 hits through 3+ innings in the worst start of his career. At least at this point of his career it would the worst. On June 14 of 2009 in real life, which would be his next start, he allowed 9 runs in 3 innings in a game against the Yankees. His worst start would be in 2010 on May 2nd, when he allowed 10 runs in 3 2/3 innings in a game oddly enough against the Phillies! Just for curiosity's sake, lets see which of those three starts would be the worst using the game scores: Today's game - 3 innings, 14 hits, 9 runs (all earned), 0 BB, 2 K game score of -3 Game of 6-14-09 - 3 innings, 9 hits, 9 runs (all earned), 2 BB, 3 K game score of 6 Game of 5-2-10 - 3 2/3 innings, 8 hits, 10 runs (all earned), 2 BB, 1 K game score of 4 They all suck, but judge for yourself which one was worse. |

WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Alex Cora robbed Carlos Ruiz of a base hit.
Shane Victorino hit for the cycle and had 3 RBI at Citi Field as the
Philadelphia Phillies belted the New York (NL) Mets by the count of 14 to
3.
Victorino was a source of great heartache for the New York (NL) faithful all
evening. He just kept pounding out hits! He doubled in the 1st inning,
stroked a single plating a run in the 2nd inning, tripled in the 4th inning,
singled in the 5th inning and blasted a two-run home run in the 9th inning.
Philadelphia bats were hot in the 4th inning with 4 runs on 5 hits.
Philadelphia kept the pressure on throughout the contest as they scored in 6
different innings.
J.A. Happ(3-3) got credit for the victory, pitching 7 innings and allowing 2
runs. The losing pitcher was Johan Santana(3-5). He allowed Philadelphia 9
runs in 3 innings of work.
'I had good swings tonight,' Victorino said, 'Everything felt right'.
