A doubleheader calls for a double bock. And why not drink it from one of the best beermakers on the planet. Can’t say I’ve ever had a less-than-stellar beer from Sam Adams. Haven’t had this one, but my does it look tasty. They use an enormous amount of malt, half a pound per bottle, to brew this intensely rich lager. Its deep brown-ruby color is all made in the kettle, no black malt is used, resulting in a rich sweetness that is free of the rough taste of burnt malt. It’s probably not best for the warmth of the day game, but at least for the evening game, it’ll be a great change of pace for game 2. -By Pat
Go Phillies!
GAME 1 Recap: How about that there Kyle Kendrick? He jumps in and throws a gem, striking out five over seven innings for his 4th win of the season. Above, I wrote that if he went six innings, it was a guaranteed victory. He did not let me, or anyone else, down. His work on the mound, with the help of the offense, gave the Phillies their 42nd win of the year in the 8-1 victory.
This Marlins team is in an absolute free fall. They have now lost 16 of their last 19 games, dropping to fourth place in the NL East. To make matters worse, their Ace Josh Johnson has been put on the 60-day DL.
Rookie Elih Villanueva got the spot start for the Fish and threw 92 pitches in just three innings, taking the loss in his first career start. He had no chance as the streaking Phillies offense struck for 8 runs.
Wilson Valdez’s 3-run triple and Jimmy Rollins’ 3-run homer sparked the win. More coming later.
