Apr. 26, 2009 (Baseball Musings delivered by Newstex ) --
The Phillies send the Marlins to their sixth straight loss today as Jamie Moyer shuts them down and the Phillies offense applied a thumping, 13-2. Ryan Howard went 2 for 5, and is batting .290/.364/.522 so far. So much for him always getting off to a slow start. The 2008 season was the only one of his four where his April was totally poor. One big improvement this year come from him cutting down on his strikeouts.
Florida allowed 44 runs over the last six games. Only twenty of those came from the starters.
