He retired 15 of 16 batters through the first five innings and struck out four. Chipper Jones was 2-for-4, scored two runs, walked and hit his 11th home run of the seaso |

| PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The bullpen door swings open at Citizens Bank Park, and Brad Lidge jogs in to Drowning Pool's ``Soldiers.'' Soon after the music stops blaring, the game usually ends. Lidge has been that dominant in his first two months with the Philadelphia Phillies. He didn't allow an earned run in his first 17 games before a misplayed line drive ruined his perfect ERA. Entering Wednesday night's game against Atlanta, the hard-throwing right-hander was 10-for-10 in save opportunities with a 0.50 ERA. He'd al |

| (Best E Casino) - Veteran lefty Tom Glavine makes attempt No. 7 at a first win of the season tonight when the Atlanta Braves visit Citizens Bank Park for the middle test of a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies. Glavine, who earned the 300th win of his career while with the New York Mets last season, is still winless in his return to Atlanta, the team that drafted him in the second round back in 1984. His last outing, on May 9 at Pittsburgh, saw him pitch well enough to win - seven innings, five hits, |

| Philadelphia, PA (Best E Casino) - Jayson Werth finished 3-for-4 with four runs batted in, as the Philadelphia Phillies downed National League East rival Atlanta, 5-4, in the initial contest of a three-game set at Citizens Bank Park. Werth won the game with his bat -- tying a career high with four RBI -- then nearly lost it in the field. With Mark Kotsay on second and Chipper Jones on first in the ninth, Brad Lidge faced Brian McCann with two outs. McCann lofted a line drive to center, but Werth froze and the ball |

| (Best E Casino) - When the Philadelphia Phillies left the City of Brotherly Love a little over a week ago, they led the National League East by a slim margin. Upon returning back home, the club now finds itself second in the standings. After a home win over the San Francisco Giants on May 4, the Phillies were up on both the New York Mets and Florida Marlins by a half-game in the division. However, a 3-4 road trip coupled with a recent seven-game winning streak by the Marlins now has Philadelphia 2 1/2 games back o |

| (Best E Casino) - California-born left-hander Jo-Jo Reyes looks for a third start without a loss tonight when the Atlanta Braves open a three-game series with their National League East Division rival Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. A second-round draft pick in 2003, Reyes reached the majors last season and was 2-2 with a 6.22 earned run average over 50 2/3 innings in 11 games - 10 starts. He faced the Phillies in his lone relief appearance in 2007 and allowed three hits and a run in 3 1/3 innings. Th |

The reigning NL MVP hit a two-run homer, an RBI double and also singled in his first game back, sending the Philadelphia Phillies past the struggling San Francisco Giants 7-4 on Friday night. ``It was great. It makes you smile,'' Rollins said, doing just that. ``Hopefully I can give you guys a good story. It ain't going to happen all the time.'' Carlos Ruiz drove in two ru |
