Two Straight!!
The Phillies are one win away from advancing to the NLCS for the first time since 1993.
In South Philly Thursday night the Phillies took on baseball’s best pitcher of late, C.C. Sabathia, and knocked him out in the fourth inning of a game two 5-2 win over the Brewers.
Brett Myers allowed two runs on two hits over seven strong innings. He allowed a bases loaded walk in the first but got a double play to end the inning.
The Phillies scored all five of their runs in the fourth inning; the big blow was a grand slam off of Sabathia from Shane Victorino. It was Victorino’s first career grand slam and the first grand slam for the Phillies’ franchise in their postseason history.
Brad Lidge came on for the ninth and picked up a 1,2,3 save after a shaky outing on Wednesday.
The two teams have off on Friday for travel and game three will be on Saturday in Milwaukee.
Jamie Moyer will look to clinch a berth into the NLCS for the Phillies while Dave Bush is slated to fend off elimination for the Brewers. Moyer is 16-7 in 2008 and Bush is 9-10.
