The previous evening, Phillie ace Roy Halladay got blown out by the Yankees. Wednesday night, “old man” Jamie Moyer took the mound and dominated them in a 6-3 win It’s a funny game sometime, but Philly blog The Good Phight says a win is a win and Phillie fans need to celebrate all of them these days.
The Good Phight: Moyer Totally Dominates Yanks In Phillie Win
This is a funny game. Roy Halladay is blown out by the Yankees one night. The next night, Jamie Moyer, he of the line of 9 runs in 1 inning last time out, shuts down the same team.
And by “shuts down,” I mean totally dominated. In 8 innings, Moyer allowed 3 hits and 1 walk, striking out 5. The Yankees were helpless against him. The only two runs he allowed were solo homers to Robinson Cano and Jorge Posada. Brad Lidge came in in the ninth and struggled. He got 2 strikes on each of his last four batters, but couldn’t put Mark Teixiera, Alex Rodriguez, and Robinson Cano away, allowing each to reach base and a run to score. Manuel left him in there to face Posada, who also got to two strikes, but eventually struck out on a nasty slider.
