Game Recap 05.07.10: Phillies 7 Braves 0

We’ve all heard it said before: “You never know when you’re going to see something at the ballpark that you’ve never seen before.”

Friday night was without a doubt one of those nights.

Philadelphia Phillies fans can’t help but roll their eyes every time someone says “47-year-old Jamie Moyer,” or, “The Ageless Wonder Jamie Moyer,” but on Friday everyone was focused on one thing: Jamie Moyer is now the oldest pitcher to have pitched a complete game shutout, and no matter how you slice it, that’s just plain incredible.

Game Review: 04.21.10

After three straight (heartbreaking) losses, the Phillies looked to Doc Halladay to pull them out of their slump. He didn’t waste any time retiring the first Brave of the game on a slow roller to first after just one pitch (cuttered).

In his fourth start for the Fightins he pitched his second complete game and first shut out of 2010 bringing his record to 4-0 and his ERA down to a national league leading 0.82 having passed Mike Pelfry (0.86) and Tim Lincecum (0.90). Harry Leroy rounded out the night with 9 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, and 7 SO on 113 pitches (71 for strikes, 23 for cutters).

Harry Leroy Halladay, making his second start in a Phillies uniform, acquired his 150th career win and 50th complete game today to complete the series sweep over the Houston Astros.
