Aaron Harang threw 6 innings of 1 run ball on Monday to help Philadelphia reach double-digit wins. The veteran right-hander credited his "perfectly toasted English muffin" that he ate during his usual pre-game routine. "Sometimes I'll leave it in the toaster too long which leads to a burnt E-muffin, and that usually means it's going to be an ugly day on the mound for me. I also substituted butter for strawberry jam as my topping, so maybe that helped too. I don't know," Harang was quoted as saying post-game.
On the opposing side, Atlanta Braves first basemen Freddie Freeman enjoyed a tepid day at the plate (1-4, RBI, 2 LOB). "When I flied out to left in the first inning, I was actually thinking about Manny Pacquiao's shoulder injury during the entire at-bat," said Freeman. With the loss, the Braves fell to 12-14 and the Phillies narrowed the gap between the two teams in the standings by improving to 10-17.
