Justin De Fratus News

Domonic Brown drove in the tiebreaking run on an infield grounder in the eighth and the Philadelphia Phillies snapped the Cincinnati Reds' 6-game winning streak with a 5-3 victory on Friday night.

Hamels left Marlins Park after last night's infuriating 5-1 loss to the pathetic Fish without speaking to the media.

The move is retroactive to May 11, meaning Adams can be activated as early as Sunday.

Freddy Galvis raced around the bases at Citizens Bank Park like a blur, smiling and yelling the entire way before tossing his helmet to the side and leaping onto home plate among a crush of teammates.

Cliff Lee pitched and hit well enough to earn a win. He had to settle for being picked up by his teammates.

The Phillies bullpen has been an adventure so far in 2013. While Jonathan Papelbon has been lights out and Mike Adams has been pretty good for the most part when healthy, the rest of that unit has been inconsistent at best.

While they slip, slide and fall in their modest pursuit of reaching .500, the Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals have failed to pull away.

The Phillies have asked Justin De Fratus to get only two outs this season, but by no means has either one been easy.

John Mayberry Jr. had three hits and three RBI, including a go-ahead two-run double for the Phillies, who won their third straight game to get within two games of .500. Pettibone allowed two runs and four hits in 6 2/3 innings, the longest of his five career starts.

The Indians embarrassed the Phillies in a two-game sweep at Progressive Field, outscoring the visitors by a wide 20-2 margin.

The Philadelphia Phillies called up two prospects from Triple-A this past week who turned in solid season debuts, although neither is considered a top 10 prospect.

After pitching in three of the previous four games, Mike Adams didn't warm up on Saturday, when fellow reliever Jonathan Papelbon pitched a five-out save.

Shut down by Brandon McCarthy for the first eight innings, the Phillies scored two runs in the ninth against fill-in Diamondbacks closer Heath Bell.

A day before he made his major league start since September, Tyler Cloyd made himself comfortable in a major league clubhouse for the first time since spring training.

Hitting before the pitcher for the first time in two years, Montero hit a tiebreaking homer off the right foul pole in the eighth inning, helping the Diamondbacks beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 Friday night for their fifth straight victory.

On a day when there were strong indications that the Phillies will be dipping into the farm system in the near future for another starting pitcher, Adam Morgan had the opportunity to get an arm-up on the competition.

Following the least effective month of his major league career, left-hander Jonathan Sanchez is a hopeless case.
