Joe Blanton came out dealing but then got roughed up a bit to give up a five spot in the fifth. He owes his boys a few beers on the plane ride to New York for spotting him six runs. The Phils later blew this one open with Ryan Howard & Raul Ibanez homers. Jimmy's four hit day and Chase's 3 hit day do not go unnoticed. Chan Ho Park was used in his new role out of the pen and pitched a scoreless eighth before Sergio Escalona mopped up the ninth.
The Phillies win their Cincy series and your Memorial Day weekend is off to a balmy 77 degree start! Enjoy it.
Anyone else making an appearance at Yankee Stadium this weekend? I'll be there Sunday in the bleachers.
