May 18, 2008 Blue Jays 7, Phillies 2




No chance for the Phillies today as Shaun Marcum is on top of his game for the Jays, only allowing two hits through 6 until Ryan Howard broke the shutout with a solo homerun in the 7th inning. Toronto already had a 3-1 lead at that point, and again get to the bullpen for 4 more runs. Even bringing in Brad Lidge in a non-save situation backfires as he pretty much sucks the joint out again walking 2, throwing 2 wild pitches with one letting a run cross the plate, and a run.

An interesting note about Blue Jays centerfielder Alex Rios. Rios is tied for third in the AL in runs batted in with 40, but has only 3 homeruns! Phillie slugger Ryan Howard, with a homer today to up his season total to 14, has less RBI that Rios with 33. Kevin Youkilis of the Sox, with 16 dingers, only has 37 RBI. Just goes to prove that homeruns don't mean everything when it comes to knocking runners home.

At Citizen's Bank Park the Philadelphia Phillies were battered 7 to 2 by the
Toronto Blue Jays.

Philadelphia was unable to recover after Toronto went ahead in the top of the
2nd inning with 2 runs on 3 hits. Matt Stairs got things going when he
doubled. Shannon Stewart followed and he delivered a one-base hit. Rod
Barajas then slapped a base-hit. One out later, Shaun Marcum stepped up to
the plate and he hit a deep fly. Toronto had 10 hits for the afternoon.

The win went to Marcum(5-1) who allowed 1 run in 6 innings. Kyle Kendrick(1-5)
absorbed the loss. He surrendered 6 hits and 2 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.
