GAME 2
Marquis vs Worley
Phillies 2, Cardinals 1
Manger Mike Roberts resorted to a little chicanery of his own by starting Staten Island's own Jason Marquis against Weinrib's Phightin's. Marquis and Weinrib, both Staten Islanders have a heated rivalry in the borough as to who is the most famous baseball man from these parts. The hurler was magnificent on the day giving up just 2 in 6 and 2/3's innings. Philly's Vance Worley, who wanted to make his skipper proud, was better. Worley went 7, fanned 7 and gave up just 1 run on 3 hits. Bastardo and Madson preserved the victory and the Phightin's now had themselves a two zip lead in the series. Both pitchers threw up goose eggs for 6 1/2 innings, before the Phightin's posted 2 in the home half of the 7th. Ryan Howard broke the ice with a lead off homer in the 7th and Worley singled home Polanco with the bases loaded and 2 out later in the frame. To say Mr. Worley did his skipper proud, in this un-official "Battle of Richmond County" is and understatement.
Phillies lead series 2-0
