Brett Myers was due for a poor outing and the hot Marlins were the ones to hand it to him. Myers (10-12) lasted only 4+ innings, giving up 10 runs on 9 hits as the Marlins beat Philadelphia 14-8. Kyle Kendrick also pitched in relief in the 8th, giving up a home run.
The Marlins exploded in the first inning with 5 runs and then scored 5 runs in the 5th before Myers could even record an out.
On the offensive side of the ball, Ryan Howard hit his 46th home run of the season, going 1-4 with 3 RBIs. Greg Dobbs and Shane Victorino also had homers, both solo shots.
The Mets won yesterday, moving to half a game ahead of the Phillies. The Phils have 8 to play and the Mets have 9. In the Wild Card, the Phillies are still 2 games ahead of Milwaukee, who also have 8 games to play.
Probables today are:
J. Blanton (7-12, 4.82), A. Sanchez (2-4, 5.87)
