brett is brilliant

Brett Myers was the star last night in a 3-0 win against the Mets. Myers, who has been dominant since his return from the minors, went eight strong innings, fanning 10 on just three hits. Brad Lidge came in for a shaky ninth but hung on to get his 34th straight save. Mike Pelfrey pitched well but not well enough. Led by Shane Victorino, the Phillies manufactured a run in the 1st. Greg Dobbs sealed it with a 2-run homer in the 8th. Tropical storm Hanna is likely to postpone today's matinee, setting up a day/night doubleheader tomorrow. The Phillies have taken the first game in all of the series with the Mets this season only to lose the remainder. But for last night Brett Myers was brilliant. Since the All-Star break he's 5-1, with a 1.55 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. In 4 of the 9 games he's pitched in that span, he's allowed 0 earned runs.
