Zambrano Leads Marlins Over Phillies

PBR- Miami starter Carlos Zambrano was on fire this afternoon, leading the Marlins to a 5-1 win over the Phillies. Zambrano threw seven and two-thirds innings of one run ball, giving up only four hits.

The Phillies' offense struggled with only Juan Pierre collecting more than one hit. Pierre had three hits, including the lone RBI that plated Brian Schneider.

Zambrano silenced the Phillies bats and helped lead the Marlins' offense, with two hits including a homerun off of starter Joe Blanton.

Blanton didn't struggle through six inning, only giving up six runs.  He ran into trouble in the seventh inning when he gave up three runs. The Philadelphia offense just wasn't there to support Blanton.

Shortstop Jose Reyes collected two hits for Miami and third baseman Hanley Ramirez homered in the fourth inning to lead their offensive effort.

This loss keeps the Phillies in last place in the NL East, putting their record at 28-27.

Tomorrow Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers will travel to Citizens Bank Park. Vance Worley is expected to come off of the disabled list and slide into Roy Halladay's spot to start.
