The Phillies swept the Brewers in a three game series as the Philly bats came alive against a weak Milwaukee staff.
In
game one the Phillies jumped out to a two run lead on a Johnny Callison
single, but the Brewers came storming back with four runs in the bottom
of the frame on Home Runs from Fielder and Jenkins. A Wes Covington
blast brought the Phillies back to within one, but a Geoff Jenkins
double and a sacrifice fly put the Brewers up by three in the bottom of
the inning.
Unfortunately
for the Brewers Yovani Gallardo could not hold the lead and Dick (don’t
call me Richie) Allen blasted a three run homer in the fourth to tie
the score. A sacrifice fly off the bat of Tony Taylor tallied the
winning run in the fifth. Dallas Green, W (1-0) held the Brewers
scoreless for 3.2 innings to pick up the win and Ed Roebuck pitched a
perfect ninth to preserve the win.
Ryan Braun picked up a hit to extend his hitting streak to 16 games.
In
game two the Phillies jumped out to a two run lead in the first and
extended the lead to 6 – 0 before Jim Bunning, W (2-2) yielded solo
homers to Richie Weeks and Prince Fielder in the ninth in a 6 – 2
Phillies win. Cookie Rojas went 4 for 4 with a triple and his first
home run of the season to lead the Philadelphia attack. Ryan Braun was
held hitless and his streak ended at 16 games. Jeff Suppan, L (2-3)
took the loss.
In
game three both teams tallied once in the first, but Chris Short, W
(2-1) did not allow another over 7.2 innings and Jack Baldschun held the
Brewers scoreless for the final 1.1 innings. Dick Allen and Tony
Gonzalez combined for 6 hits (3 doubles) and all three runs in the 3 – 1
Victory for the Phillies.
