Kody Clemens ripped an RBI single to right, Matt Strahm pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning, and the Philadelphia Phillies moved to .500 for the first time this season with a 1-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. FOX13
But Philadelphia’s long-haired lefty striking out batters at a fantastic clip knows he really doesn’t have a say in either decision. So the best Strahm can do is enjoy the ride and get batters out for as long as manager Rob Thomson lets him have the ball.
"As a starter, I’m trying to shake the catcher’s hand at the end of the game," Strahm said. "When he comes out and takes the ball, he takes the ball." Craig Kimbrel worked a scoreless ninth for his third save and 397th of his career, putting him on the brink of becoming the seventh reliever to ever record 400.
He pitched an inning of relief on opening day, and has now made five straight starts, highlighted by an 11-K performance the last time out against Colorado. Strahm, who criticized some Major League Baseball teams for extending alcohol sales because of faster games as a result of the pitch clock, struck out five and walked none over 5 1/3 scoreless innings.
