Howard homers as Phils blank Fish

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Howard homered and doubled, and
Kyle Kendrick worked out of several jams to pitch six shutout innings as the
Philadelphia Phillies downed the Florida Marlins, 5-0, in the middle matchup
of a three-game showdown between the top two teams in the NL East.
Kendrick (10-5) gave up four hits and walked five, but was able to keep the
Marlins scoreless through six.
"He had quite a few guys on base. He pitched good enough to get out of it,"
said Phillies manager Charlie Manuel.
Chad Durbin threw two scoreless frames and Ryan Madson pitched a perfect ninth
to nail down the win for the first-place Phillies, who have won eight of 10.
Eric Bruntlett went 2-for-3, knocked in a run and scored for Philadelphia,
which pushed its lead over the Marlins in the NL East back to 2 1/2 games. The
New York Mets, who lost 4-2 to the Padres on Wednesday, are three games behind
the Phillies.
Anibal Sanchez (1-1) was touched for four runs -- three earned -- on five hits
in five innings to take the loss. The Marlins left 10 runners on base as they
fell for the third time in five games.
The Phillies gave Kendrick some early run support, with Chase Utley doubling
in Shane Victorino with one out in the first. Kendrick stranded two Marlins
runners in the second, and the Phils added two more runs in the home half.
Geoff Jenkins reached on an error by Sanchez, who then beaned Chris Coste.
Bruntlett pulled a double just fair down the line in left, plating Jenkins.
Kendrick then helped himself with an RBI groundout for a 3-0 Phillies lead.
The Marlins again put two runners on with two outs in the third, but Kendrick
got Dan Uggla to ground out to keep Florida off the board. Howard then led off
the third with a homer to left-center, his 32nd of the season, tying
Cincinnati's Adam Dunn for the major league-lead.
Working with a 4-0 lead, Kendrick continued to dodge bullets in the fourth.
After getting two quick outs he walked the bottom two hitters in the Florida
lineup -- John Baker and Sanchez. Hanley Ramirez's infield single loaded the
bases, but Jeremy Hermida lined out to short to strand another three runners.
"He's good enough to make pitches that get him out of situations," said
Manuel.
Philadelphia pinch-hitter Mike Cervenak picked up his first career hit and RBI
with his bouncing single through the drawn-in infield and into left with no
outs in the sixth. The single scored Bruntlett, who singled to lead off the
inning, for a five-run Philadelphia lead.
The Marlins did not threaten to score against either Durbin or Madson, who did
not allow a baserunner except Mike Jacobs, who singled with two outs in the
eighth.
Game Notes
The Phillies left 11 runners on base...Utley extended his hitting streak to 11
games...The Marlins activated catcher Matt Treanor from the 15-day disabled
list on Wednesday. Treanor, who did not play, has been out of action since
July 8 with a strained left hip...Phillies reliever Tom Gordon left
Wednesday's rehab assignment for Single-A Clearwater because of pain in his
right elbow. He has been sidelined since July 6 with inflammation in the
elbow. Gordon is slated to fly back to Philadelphia Thursday for further
examination.
