Phillies Sweep a Doubleheader

Right-hander Kyle Kendrick took the ball to start the first game of Thursday’s day-night doubleheader with the Marlins. Kendrick had a solid start in the Phillies 3-1 victory over the Marlins. Ryan Howard, first baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies, hit an RBI double in the 10th inning shortly after Lee fell one strike short of his seventh shutout. Therefore the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Florida Marlins 2-1 on Thursday.
