As TheGoodPhight’s resident westerner, I usually draw the short straw for the games in Guam and Tokyo and such like, and today’s game is no exception. Played in a place called “Phoenix” where it apparently was like 125 degrees yesterday, I assume this is in the middle of the Australian Outback or the Gobi Desert or something because who the fuck would live in a place where it ever gets 125 degrees.
Anyway, here’s what happened: the Phillies won.
Mark Leiter Jr earned his first big league win, pitching six scoreless innings, scattering three hits and a walk, and striking out five.
