Jamie & Ryan show powers Phils
If only Jamie Moyer could face the Florida Marlins every time he takes the mound.
Simply put, the 46-year-old left-hander owns the Fish. Moyer got the second half of the Phils season off to a sparkling start by dazzling the Marlins, allowing just one hit over seven innings. The Phils rolled to an easy 4-0 win.
The victory makes Moyer 13-2 against the Marlins, and he has never lost to them in Florida.
Moyer barely hit 80 mph with most of this pitches, but he still managed to mow down the Marlins, retiring them in succession in six of his seven innings.
Moyer was backed by the power hitting of Raul Ibanez and Ryan Howard.
Ibanez looked like a man intent on making up for the stint he spent on the DL before the break, hitting two home runs. That gives him 24 on the year.
Howard added a solo shot, the 200th of his career. Not only was it a milestone dinger for the slugger, it also made him the fastest player in baseball history to hit the 200-homer plateau.
Howard hit homer No. 200 in just his 658th game. It took Ralph Kiner 706 games to reach the same mark. Kiner starred in the ’40s and ’50s.
The win puts the Phils five up on the Marlins in the NL East.
