Phillies Top D-backs Behind Burnett's Gem

A.J. Burnett continued his recent string of dominance Sunday afternoon, as the right-hander completely shut down the D-backs. Burnett tossed eight scoreless innings on the afternoon, striking out eight and surrendering just five hits, as he lowered his ERA in his last four starts to 1.38.

The Phillies would take the lead in the first inning on an RBI single by Chase Utley, and that run would prove to be all they would need, as they topped the D-backs 2-0 behind the gem from Burnett.

With Burnett dealing, the Phillies would tack on an insurance run in the sixth, when Marlon Byrd singled home Utley to make it 2-0.

Burnett would continue his dominance through eight innings, before being lifted for closer Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth. Papelbon would allow a single to Miguel Montero before eventually retiring the side, as the Phillies took a 2-0 win to close out their road trip.

Utley and Ben Revere continued to be hot at the plate on the afternoon, as both went 2-for-4 in the game, with Utley collecting an RBI and his 11th double of the season.

The Phillies will take Monday off, as they head home to open a series with the Mets on Tuesday. Cole Hamels will make the start, facing off against Jon Niese.
