Phillies Strong Early

Aaron Harang is still looking for his elusive release point. The Phillies and their ample lumber clubbed four doubles in the second inning and parlayed three walks into six runs.

Matt Stairs cleared the bases with a double. Eric Bruntlett, John Mayberry Jr and Carlos Ruiz hit the other two-baggers.

"I never got in the groove. I didn't feel comfortable out there. I didn't have a finish pitch today. They hit some good pitches. I threw some good pitches down and away and they were taking them to rightfield. I gotta get get in a groove early on and stay out there for awhile. I didn't feel sharp. I felt I was pulling off a little," Harang said.

Harang pitched just 3 1/3 innings, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks. He struck out two.


Meanwhile Brett Myers have allowed just a single by Chris Dickerson in the first three innings.

Myers lasted 5 2/3 by contrast. He allowed no runs and no walks. He gave up four hits but struck out seven.
