Phillies Win Game One
The Phillies won their first playoff game in 15 years with their 3-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday afternoon in South Philadelphia.
Cole Hamels threw eight shutout innings, allowing two hits and striking out nine en route to his first playoff win.
Brad Lidge, despite allowing a run in the ninth, picked up the save for the Phillies.
Chase Utley notched a two run double and the Phillies got into the Brewers bullpen early in the game when they chased starter Yovani Gallardo in the fourth inning.
The Phillies got their three runs, all that Hamels would need, in the third inning.
Game two will be on Thursday at 6pm in Philadelphia. It will pit Brett Myers against veteran lefty C.C. Sabathia. This will be the fourth straight time that Sabathia will pitch on three days’ rest for the Brewers.
Jayson Werth struggled for the Phillies in game one, going 0 for 4 with 3 strikeouts and 3 left on base.
