June 27, 2009 Phillies 4, Blue Jays 0

The Phils storm out of the gate, knocking Jays starter Brad Mills out of the game in the very first inning via a Chase Utley RBI single and a 3-run bomb for John Mayberry Jr. They wouldn't score again, but no more scoring was needed as J. A. Happ and Ryan Madson combine on the shutout. Happ goes to 5-1 as a starter as he wins his 5th straight start. More impressive, in three of his seven starts he has allowed no runs for a 2.23 ERA for his 7 starts compared to a 4.58 ERA in 10 relief appearances before moving to the rotation a bit more than a month ago.
