After allowing phour runs in the phourth inning, the Phillies immediately came back with phive of their own runs in the top half of the second inning to take an early 7-4 lead and managed to win by a score of 10-5.  The Phillies sh-lacked Harang for 13 hits and 8 earned runs, before Fredi Gonzalez was forced to take him out after only five innings. 
Roberto Hernandez got off to a rough start in the first but was able to bounce back and hold the Braves to just a single run through the next five innings.  Bastardo and Giles took the mound for the last three innings and managed to hold the lead for the Phils.

Vintage Ryan Howard came to play today, as he finished with three hits and two RBIs while also walking once.  BSB favorite Chase Utley also had a good day, recording two hits and picking up an RBI.  Finally, offseason acquisition Marlon Byrd had a great day at the plate, going 3-5 with 3 RBIs and an 8th inning home run off of David Hale.

After managing to sweep a road series for the first time since April of 2013, against a division rival nonetheless, the Phillies are now just 4.5 games back for the division lead as of the time of this writing.  As they say in Dumb and Dumbe, "So you're saying there's a chance?"  If they keep winning and the teams in front keep falling, I guess there remains a chance.  However, they need to make a big push and soon, before RAJ decides to actually go through with the proposed fire sale.  

Next Game: Thursday June 19, 8:15 pm @ St. Louis
