These two kids had the right idea. They spent much of tonight's IronPigs' game stuffing their faces with popcorn. Domonic Brown broke up the perfect game that Syracuse pitcher Jason Jones had going through 7.2 innings with a sharp single up the middle. The inning ended a batter later and I split. The final score: 7-0, Syracuse.
Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh another good outing by a Phillies' starter ended in a loss. Tonight it was Jamie Moyer. Final score: 2-0, Pirates. Between Hamels last night and Moyer tonight, the starters surrendered four earned runs on 10 hits. Each got a loss for his efforts. Last night's stat was the total ineptitude of the one through five batters, who on the road trip had exactly zero RBI. Tonight it was one for 13 with RISP. I know that the Phillies do not play well at PNC Park but this is sad.
