schuerholz from the cubs. but phillies hold on and beat the nats. best game tonight in my opinion, o's fans welcoming their team back to the yard, hosting the rays. nick markakis and steve pierce hit back-to-back homers. two on for young. he's like, i want some of that. young crushes it to left, three-run shot. birds up 7-1. next batter, hardy, solo homer for him. after a pitching change, chris davis, why not? birds go back-to-back-to-back, o's up 9-1. top six, evan longoria up with two on, smacks it deep to center. looks like it's out of there. but adam jones says, no! robs him of the homer. and then the rocket to second. and he gets him. credible doub
