MIAMI -- After a rough start, Roy Halladay finished his final outing of the season on a positive note. Halladay (11-8) allowed four runs, three in the first inning, in five innings to help the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 9-5 Saturday. "The first inning was obviously pretty sloppy," Halladay said. "I felt like after that it got better, we scored runs and got a win out of it." Chase Utley led the offensive attack for the Phillies, driving in three runs. Carlos Ruiz and Pete Orr each drove in two runs in a 4-hour, 3-minute affair as both teams combined to use 13 pitchers. "It was a very ugly game," Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said. "What was it, like 700 pitches between two teams, at least 700. ... Very boring, crazy game, a long one." Halladay struck out seven and walked three in bouncing back from his last outing in which he allowed seven runs in 1 2/3 innings against Atlanta. "He did better than he did th...

Another evening, another Bryce Harper first inning home run, another Nationals win over the Phillies. Last night’s victim was Tyler Cloyd. It was Harper’s 21st home run of his rookie year.
If this season went on a little longer, Harper would put up some eye-popping numbers. The bomb was his 94th run scored on the season. Remember, the guy didn’t come up until a month into...

MIAMI -- Cole Hamels added to his season-high win total with a strong outing Sunday. His manager, Charlie Manuel, thinks the three-time All-Star can be even better.
