The Phils stick their collective nose over .500 for the first time this season with an impressive 7-1 win over the Diamondbacks, completing the sweep in Arizona. Great night of redemption for the young guys: Marlon Byrd reaches base five times with two hits, two walks and an HBP, Jimmy Rollins collects four hits, and the much-maligned Brett Myers is absolutely dominant with seven innings of one-run ball. He walked nobody.
How better to say it than with haiku?
Happy to be wrong!
Phils sweep in the desert, and
All's right with the world.
Rollins' four-hit night
Would be a week's worth last month
Start of something big?
Myers' arm looked fine
Seven frames, one run, no walks
A rare easy win.
Always nice to go into an off-day riding the momentum of a few wins. Now we just need Billy Wagner's back to stop spasming and everything would be just ducky...
