In a battle of two longtime pros, the soft tossing lefty scraped out just ahead of the righty with pinpoint control. The Padres Greg Maddux allowed just five hits over seven innings, but one of the hits left the park. Moyer, also going seven innings, allowed just three hits to the Padres offense. The Phillies used the efforts to beat the Padres 1-0.
The lone run of the game came off the bat of Pat Burrell, who is having the best season of his career thus far. The homer was Burrell’s 26th of the year.
The Padres abysmal offense had no chance against the Phillies staff, having just one hit in the final two innings after Moyer left.
Brad Lidge worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 29th save while striking out two.
