Currently mlb.com is performing some maintainence on their site so I can’t watch the game right now.  Hopefully they get it working later.

Here is what happened in the game from a Marlins perspective.

Cole Hamels did not bring his “A” game today.  This was the second straight start that he has struggled in.  I have always looked to him to right the Phillies ship, and now that the team is running on all cylinders, he is struggling.  He gave up 3 HRs and 7 runs total through just 5 2/3 innings.  He has seen his ERA jump up to 3.73 now.  He has to get a quality start his next time out in order to still be mentioned for the All-Star Game.

Speaking of All-Stars, Chase Utley hit his 19th homerun of the season last night.  Meanwhile, Dan Uggla went an impressive 0-4.  If he’s “the best 2nd basemen in the league” then why does he have fewer homeruns, fewer RBIs, a worse batting average, and WAY more strikeouts than Chase Utley???  He’s 1-8 with a single in the series.  Utley is 3-9 with 2 HRs.
