National league Phillies gain some ground
Ryan Howard hit his major league-leading 43rd homer, Jamie Moyer pitched 5 2-3 effective innings, and the Phillies beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 6-3, Thursday night to gain ground in the playoff race.
The Nationals promoted both Brian Goodwin and Eury Perez last night, bumping two of their top outfield prospects a step closer to the major leagues.
