Someone else can post the linescore cause I have no idea how to do it. Sorry

[Patchmk88]

Franco with a great game, Saunders looked good as did Galvis

Velazquez pitched effectively but wish he could get through the 7th

Joely looked good

Benoit was great

Neris was a little shaky but closed it out

[Patchmk88]

O and the Phillies are 1 game above .500. Hell yes!

I certainly hope Stairs takes Franco's swing on the salami and forces him to watch it 100s of times.

His swing was perfect. He cocked his shoulder and simply swung through the ball, when the swing was over he was perfectly balanced and the bat went all the way through a full swing. That ball was out of any stadium, any time, it was more than enough. If Franco learns that he is never going to hit the ball 800 feet he is going to be a GREAT hitter, he has immense power without having to resort to crazy swings.

[LoneStarPhan]

Franco 3 for 4 and hit the out hard right at the left fielder.

Good offense. Home runs for Franco, Galvis, Saunders = 7 runs.

Neris was fine. Two singles after getting first two out. Two K's. Run scored because of DI. Both base runners were allowed to go to second. Another reason ERA doesn't tell all especially for relievers.

First win of the year for VV. May he get many more.

And if the season ended tonight we would be going to a playoff game for the second wild card!
