Cliff Lee showed the form that won him a Cy Young award last season in giving up just 1 run to the Rockies in a complete game 5-1 win in game 1 of the NLDS. The wind was blowing in hard all game, keeping the ball from leaving our little band box that’s become known for the long ball. Jason Werth could have had an inside the park home run if he had run out a high fly ball that ended up hitting off the wall in left center and rolling all the way to right center field.

The Phillies are now in prime position for a quick win in this NLDS. They’ve still got postseason veteran Cole Hamels to pitch before leaving Philly and heading to Colorado.
