Roy Halladay made his Phillie debut today and what a debut it was, in 7 innings pitched he gave up 1 run on 6 hits striking out 9 and walking just 2 he also had an RBI infield single which was a dribbler. Polanco had a welcome home party going 3 for 5 3 hits 1 HR and 6 RBI and 4 of those came on an grand slam. Ryan Howard got the Phillies on the board in the 5th with a monster 2 run HR in the 4th Shane Victorino added a 2 run single then Roy Halladay hit the RBI dribble single and then Polanco hit a sac fly. Phillies added two more in 6th, one on a RBI triple by Jimmy Rollins and an Polanco RBI single. Then Polanco hit his grand slam in the 7th to make 11-1. Roy Halladay did come out in the 8th as he was done for the day as Antonio Bastardo, Danys Baez, and David Herdon pitch the last two innings. The Phillies won their first opening day game since 2005 (vs Nationals)and first road opener since 2003(Marlins). Cole Hamels will pitch game two on Wednesday versus Nationals newcomer Jason Marquis at 7:05 pm.
