Found May 20, 2009 on Macho Row:

Jamie Moyer entered Wednesday night's game looking for that elusive win number 250 for his career. While he put together a respectable outing Moyer still finds himself looking for the milestone victory as the Cincinnati Reds took game two of the three game set by a score of 5-1.

Moyer pitched six full innings and allowed nine base hits, leading to three runs (all earned). He allowed only one walk and struck out two. A Ryan Hannigan solo home run in the second inning put the Reds up 2-0 in the second inning, which would be all they needed.

Reds starting pitcher Aaron Harang shut down the Phillies bats for the night by limiting them to four hits, one coming in the form of a Raul Ibanez solo home run in the fourth inning. Harang struck out nine batters and walked just one in seven innings. The Reds tacked on a couple runs on a Brandon Phillips triple in the seventh inning.

While the Phillies' winning streak was halted the team should feel good about Moyer's effort. He seemed to be his usual self in the game and gave the Phillies what should be expected out of Moyer. Untimely lack of offense is what prevented Moyer from picking up his 250th career win on this night though.

Moyer is next scheduled to pitch against the Florida Marlins, a team he has been dominant against in his career.

Phillies Fans It Is Not Time To Panic

If you have been watching the Phillies lately you may be wondering just where exactly DID the offense go? Or you may be wondering how it is possible that Chase Utley and Ryan Howard were a combined 0-22 with 12 strikeouts in their series with the Dodgers this past week.

The Arizona Diamondbacks got back to work today in Miami playing the Florida Marlins in front of a crowd that rivaled my 6-year old’s last t-ball game.

Phils start tough week against Reds

Before we get into the series preview, I have a couple points of interest: Jim Thome tied Mike Schmidt on the all-time HR list last night with his 548th HR. If Thome did not use steroids or HGH (he has never been implicated), he is one of the players most hurt by the PED culture. As it stands, Thome is currently 13th on the all-time HR list. If you take out all the players accused...

The Marlins Organization Has Itself A Closer
