Game Analysis:

I'm sorry, but where has this been the past two weeks? After getting the crap kicked out of them in three straight games, it's nice to see the Phillies actually act like World Champions again and shut out a Toronto team that I still don't think is up to Philadelphia's level. J.A. Happ was awesome today, and Jayson Werth looked great, too.

With the problems the pitching staff has been having lately, a complete game shut out had to be the best cure. J.A. Happ was on point all day, and his performance kept the Phils from ever having to use the bullpen, which has been taxed beyond belief lately. This was the best thing that could have happened for the Phils today, and scoring ten runs certainly helped, too.

The offense even looked better today, rocking Brad Mills so badly, his ERA went up five points. Jayson Werth hit a home run in the first inning that reached the top level of seats at the Rogers Centre, and then followed it up with another home run later in the game. This is the kind of production that the Phillies are going to need from their other players. Once Ibanez gets back, he, Howard and Utley can't do it all. They are going to need some help, and that's where Werth, Pedro Feliz and Carlos Ruiz come in, and all three did their jobs in this game. I know it's only one game, and I may have gotten too excited over the win over the Rays earlier this week, but any time the Phils can score ten runs, I'm happy.

Tomorrow, the Phillies say goodbye to interleague play, as Jamie Moyer (5-6, 5.97 ERA) takes on Brian Tallett (5-4, 4.36 ERA). Thank God interleague is over!
