A fairly well-played World Series opener goes to the Phillies, 3-2. I'm impressed with Chase Utley and Carl Crawford, lefties hitting home runs against tough left-handed pitchers.
As Eric Young said on ESPN, "Cole Hamels was dealin'." He allowed just five hits and two earned runs in seven innings, striking out five on his way to victory. Scott Kazmir gave up one more run and threw eight more pitches in one fewer inning of work. It was Hamels domination of the Rays that earned Philly the victory.
Brad Lidge continued his dominance in the Phillies closer role, whiffing Carlos Pena and Evan Longoria to start the 9th, and then getting Crawford to foul out to third. He was dealin', too.
