Michael Cuddyer continued to shred Philadelphia pitching, going 4-5 with 5 RBIs in yesterday's 7-4 win over the Endzone Animals. Cuddyer hit a double and two homers in the game. In the two games, Cuddyer is now 7-8 with 3 homers and 8 RBIs. Neither starter did much for their teams yesterday as Vancouver got to Roy Halladay early and often. Jake Peavy was doing well until a 6th inning meltdown that saw him give up 3 runs. Luckily Ronald Belisario pitched 3.1 perfect innings - well except for an 8th inning Scott Rolen error. Philadelphia scored 4 runs in the game, but was held to only 4 hits - 3 of which were home runs.
Meanwhile, Newark spoiled the Straphangers' playoff debut with a 4-2 win. The Sardines held a tenuous 2-1 lead as late as the 6th inning, but the Sugar Bears scored two runs in the inning to take the lead. Aaron Hill hit a solo homer to give the Sugar Bears some breathing room and the Sugar Bear bullpen shut down the Straphangers the rest of the way. Brandon Lyon, who earned the win, pitched 3.1 relief innings, giving up only 1 hit and 1 walk. The two teams face off again today with Newark sending Brian Bannister up against John Lackey. Bannister hasn't faced the Sardines this season yet, but Newark is 1-1 against Lackey.
