Ignoring Nationals' starter John Lannan might be the best trade-deadline non-move by contending teams. Considered a potential target for those looking for left-handed pitching, Lannan was cruising along with nine quality starts in his last ten games. Then came Thursday against Philadelphia.
Lannan's line:
5.2 IP, 9 H, 8 R, 6 ER, 3 BB, 7 K, 2 HR
Lannan's ERA jumps to 3.61 after he had worked for three solid outings to pull it all the way down to 3.33. Jason Werth smoked Lannan for home run number 15. Jimmy Rollins hit his 8th in a convincing 8-4 Phillies victory. Kyle Kendrick threw pretty well for the Phils, giving up two earned in 6 2/3 innings for his ninth win.
The Phillies stand alone in first in the NL East thanks to a Mets loss at Florida.
