crushing rocks

The Phillies take the field at the start of last night's game vs. the Colorado Rockies.

It was a seesaw game through three, then turned into a blur of red pinstripes. A day after shredding Astros' pitching in a 15-6 win, the Phillies crushed the decimated Rox 20-5. They batted around three times, in the 4th, 6th, and 8th, and had a season-high 19 hits. Chase Utley had a career-high 6 RBI, including his 16th homer (a 3-run shot). Chris Coste had the only other Phillie homer. Shane Victorino scored four. So Taguchi, getting a start in right, had three hits (woohoo). And Jamie Moyer was solid through seven. With the win, Moyer became the 6th pitcher to record a win against all 30 MLB teams. Curt Schilling and Terry Mulholland, who also pitched for the Phillies, are among the others.
