Phillies Hang On For The Win – Wheeeew!
Jamie Moyer won back-to-back starts, Brad Lidge saved the game and the Phillies took two of three from Toronto.
But it was scary.
Lidge came in with the Phillies clinging to a one run lead and faced Raul Chavez who laid down a bunt that has Lidge to test that right knee by sprinting off the mound to field the ball – he was wasn’t able to complete the play as Chavez had the single.
“I walked around the mound just to kind of take inventory and make sure everything felt all right,” Lidge said. “And it did. That was huge for me to know that I didn’t need to worry about that.”
John McDonald ran for Chavez and Lidge walked Marco Scutaro. He then got Aaron Hill to pop out, and made a nice pickoff move to second base to catch McDonald un a rundown. He did however, get the save after that and all was forgiven.
“At the end there, we were hanging on for dear life but it worked out,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.
This time.
Now it’s Time to get back to real baseball with the Phillies headed to Atlanta and then home against a Mets team that was swept by the Yankees over the weekend.
