Pardon the title pun, but I couldn't resist. The Phillies are putting on a great show for the rain-soaked masses at Citizens Bank Park tonight, up 8-0 in the third. And no, Brett Myers isn't pitching for the Blue Jays. Jayson Werth has a 3-run ...Lost in Werths Success is J-Rolls Poor Approach

Rod Barajas hit two home runs, one of them a grand slam, for the Blue Jays to lead them to a 6-3 victory over the Phillies. Yes, that's not a typo, that's the same Rod Barajas who stunk it up as a catcher for the Phillies last season. He finished with 5 RBIs on the game, just three shy of what Jayson Werth did on Friday.

Phillies Nation • Gamenight: Blue Jays (21-23) At Phillies (24-19)
Three homers. Eight ribbies. Jayson Werth was a beast last night against the Blue Jays, putting together the best game of his career in a 10-3 rout. The right RBI tied a single-game franchise record. It’ll be much harder for the Phils to win ...
