Lee has another stellar outing for PhilliesWednesday, August 19, 2009 (08-19) 18:39 PDT PHILADELPHIA, (AP) -- Cliff Lee pitched a two-hitter, carrying a no-hit bid into the sixth inning, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-1 Wednesday night. More SportsJayson Werth hit a pair of solo homers, Ryan Howard hit a three-run shot and Chase Utley also connected for the NL East-leading Phillies, who've won seven of eight. Philadelphia is a season-high 19 games over .500 at 68-49. Lee (4-0) allowed an unearned run and tied a career high with 11 strikeouts to record his 12th career complete game and fifth this season. The left-hander had no walks, though he hit one batter. Lee has been nearly unhittable since coming to the Phillies in a blockbuster trade with Cleveland last month. |
