San Diego 4 – Philadelphia 2

I like the Philadelphia announcers, what can I say? There was no way I was going to tune into the Padres' broadcast again. Anyway, the Phillies lost, which is always good. It was a lost day for the NL East, other than for Washington who beat Atlanta.

So, the Mets didn't lose any ground despite the water main breaking inside Oliver Perez's head. The Phillies never really mounted a threat after the first inning. Howard is still struggling and, I hope, Burrell is cooling off a little.
