Shane Victorino drove in two runs, scored one, and kept the Padres down with a strong outfield assist in a 3-1 Phillies' win. And he did it all against right-handed pitcher John Garland. That's of note because Victorino has been lost batting left this year.
Very quietly, Joe Blanton is pitching very well. Brad Lidge rebounded from his balky outing Friday night with a 1-2-3 appearance yesterday. The Phillies are now 17-4 at Petco Park. Does that bring the Astros at CBP to mind? Baseball is a weird sport.
It's Hawaii vs. Japan in today's Little League World Series in Williamsport.
