July 23:
Phillies 5 @ Cardinals 7
WP: Randy Choate (1-1, 3.66)
LP: Jeremy Horst (3-3, 4.78)
SV: Trevor Rosenthal (14, 2.76)
HR: PHI: Carlos Ruiz (7)

A 3-run homer by Carlos Ruiz in the 7th gave Philadelphia the lead, but we were abl to come back. We had more hits in this game (16) than against the Padres in three games (15).

After the game, we make our biggest trade of the season up to this point. We trade away catching prospect Steve Bean and CF Adron Chambers to Baltimore, and we get SS J.J. Hardy and RP Pedro Strop. Hardy has struggled this year with a .214 average, but he's an improvement from Kozma and he also plays better defense and has more power. We then trade Pete Kozma to San Diego for RP Mark Melancon to improve our bullpen even more. These moves aren't huge, but I think they will help us win more games. As a result of these trades, Mitchell Boggs and Joe Kelly have been demoted to AAA. Matt Holliday also returns to the lineup after his 3rd rehab game.

July 24:
Phillies 0 @ Cardinals 2
WP: Jaime Garcia (7-11, 4.53)
LP: Johnathan Pettibone (1-2, 3.48)

The Cardinal bullpen got the night off in this one, as Jaime Garcia pitched a 4-hitter, striking out 5. Out of our 7 hits, 4 went for two bases.

July 25:
WP: Adam Wainwright (13-6, 2.39)
LP: Cliff Lee (7-6, 3.23)
HR: PHI: Ryan Howard (15) STL: David Freese (11)

Philadelphia led 2-0 after the top of the third, but that was all they would get, as our pitching shut them down. We had another nice day at the plate, rapping out 6 extra base hits, including a triple and round tripper by Freese.

Around the League:
7/23
Angels lefty Jason Vargas shuts out Minnesota, striking out 6.

7/24
Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki is day to day with a sore wrist.
Atlanta 1B Vincent Belnome hits 3 solo home runs in a 4-2 victory over the New York Mets.
Rangers 2B Ian Kinsler goes 5-7, leading his team to an 8-7 win over the Yankees.

7/25
