The Philadelphia Phillies scored two runs in the eigth inning to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1. Pat Burrell once again came up with the big hit as he had two-run double in the eigth inning that provided the go ahead and winning runs.
The Phillies also got a solo home run off the bat of Jason Werth. It was Werth’s fourth home run of the season.
Tom Gordon picked up the win as he pitched the seventh inning. Starting pitcher Jamie Moyer threw six innings and allowed eight hits and one earned run. Good quality start for Moyer as he kept the Phillies in the game and that is all you can ask from your starter. J.C. Romero and Ryan Madson pitched the eigth inning before giving way to Brad Lidge who picked up his fifth save of the season.
The Phillies are now one game over .500 and hope to continue their success on Friday when they start a series with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
