The dirt dudes take care of business between innings on a hot Thursday afternoon last month at Citizens Bank Park.Sparkling pitching by Cole Hamels and great offense led the Phillies to a 9-2 victory over talented rookie Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers this afternoon. Hamels went seven innings, giving up 2 runs on 5 hits. Pat Burrell provided a first-inning cushion with a three-run homer. Burrell went 3 for 5, with 5 RBI, which tied a career high. The first four in the order--Rollins, Utley, Burrell, and Howard--were in the thick of things all afternoon. More, more, more.
Geoff Jenkins, who injured his hip running to first last night, was put on the DL and journeyman Andy Tracy called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Jenkins has had a spotty season, hope he comes back rested and ready to go.
