Phillies Sweep Reds 3-0 for NLDS Championship



Jayson Werth celebrates the first series sweep in post season play ever for the Philadelphia Phillies.  Cole Hamels won game three 2-0 with a masterful five hit performance not quite outdoing team-mate Roy Halladay's second no hitter in MLB history in Game 1 of the NLDS with the Reds. 

Philly fans were heartened following the teams's 2009 World Series loss to the New York Yankees by the addition of proven winners Roy Halladay and Roy Oswalt.   But only the most optimistic would have predicted setting a record of 11 hits allowed breaking that of the 1998 Yankees of 15 hits allowed.

The stars may be aligning for a repeat of last year's World Series between the Phillies and Yankees. More to come...
