So here came the Diamondbacks, the real surprise team in the National League. On Tuesday night, the Phillies took a 2-1 lead into the ninth behind Roy Halladay, who appeared to be on cruise control. But two singles and a Lyle Overbay double later, the D'backs had a 3-2 lead and had stolen game one. Cue the second-guessing, which was out of control the next day. Overbay, a former teammate of Doc's, drove in all three of the Arizona runs.
On Tuesday, Cliff Lee was out to avenge his April loss in the desert. The hometown offense took advantage of miscues and romped to a 9-2 win. Lee became the sixth NL pitcher with 13 runs. Three of the six are Phillies.
Last night pitted Vance Worley against 15-game winner Ian Kennedy. The Phillies struck first for three runa, supplied in part by a Mayberry two-run homer. Worley looked to be back to his usual self, but then the rains came for a two-hour+ delay. David Herndon picked up where Worley left off and got the win. 4-1, Phillies.
