good eaton

The story last night in Philadelphia was pretty much Adam Eaton, who pitched 6.2 innings, giving up 1 run and 3 hits and walking none. It was a taut 1-1 game till Reds' starter Aaron Harang hung one for Pat Burrell, who smacked it deep into the left field seats for a 2-run homer. Tom Gordon allowed a run in the 8th but the boos were reserved for his walking the pinch-hitting Griffey, Jr. In the 9th Brad Lidge skirted trouble to preserve the 3-2 lead and notch his 15th save in 15 attempts. It was pretty much Eaton's best outing as a Phillie. May he keep it up. Today's matchup is sizzling rookie Endison Volquez vs. Brett Myers. Thunderstorms are forecast all day.
