Another one run win and the Phillies win the series with the Giants with a shot at a 4 game sweep tomorrow. Walker now 2-0 after two starts. I would be really ecstatic about his pitching had Thomson gone to the bullpen to start the 7th in each of those games. Still, Walker has pitched pretty well through six innings in each of his starts so far. His return to the rotation is a boost to the team. Alvarado gets the save (#7) but kudos to Hoffman for not letting the runner on third, with one out in the 8th, score.
Big home run from Harper the big hit of the night. But really, 17 strikeouts in 8 innings. That means only 7 outs were not Ks.
