Jamie Moyer pitched 5.2 innings on three days' rest, giving up 3 runs and 4 hits, walking one and striking out five in a 6-3 win over Ben Sheets and the Milwaukee Brewers last night. Can you say phenomenal for the always unflappable Mr. Moyer! Ryan Howard had a double, homer, and 3 RBI. Shane Victorino scored on a squeeze by Carlos Ruiz. (Where has this Carlos been all year!) Brad Lidge notched his 36th save. Jamie now has 14 wins. I'll say it again, the guy's on a mission.
The day before the game Moyer was showing Tyler Babel and his family around the Phillies' clubhouse. Tyler is the six-year-old who took a line drive foul in the face at a game last month and suffered three fractures. He is now quite fine, and Moyer invited him for a tour. The kid got to hang with Cole Hamels and Jimmy Rollins and get a bat from So Taguchi and a ball from Moyer. Jamie Moyer is a treasure.
