The Phillies had another good week this time out, winning all but won game as they closed in on their fourth straight division title. The pitching was excellent, the hitting was solid, and it was very tough to decide who was best this week. In the end, it came down to one guy, who has been turning his season around for the last month and a half. This week's Phillie of the Week is:
Brad Lidge
Simply put, Lights Out Lidge is back. Since the beginning of August, Lidge has blown just one save, and has lowered his ERA from 5.32 all the way down to 3.09. This past week, Lidge saved all four games that he appeared in, allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out four. That's what the Phils need out of the back end of their rotation, and that's what they've been getting lately.
