Game Notes

Big bats produce big in a 9-6 win for the Phillies over the Astros.

Ryan Howard, Jayson Werth and Shane Victorino each drive in 3 runs as Philadelphia rains on Houston's parade as the Astros celebrate their name change from the Colt 45s by wearing throwbacks from the '60s.

The Phillies jump out to a 4-0 lead, but fall behind after a 5-run 3rd inning by the Astros. Philadelphia regains the lead on Howard's 2-run HR in the 7th. Victorino adds an RBI single in the inning, and later contributes a 2-run HR in the 9th.

Starting pitchers:
Phillies - Jamie Moyer
Astros - Felipe Paulino

Winning pitcher: Moyer (1-0)
Losing pitcher: Brandon Lyon (0-1)
