The Philadelphia Phillies' 2010 season is the 128th season in the history of the franchise. The team will attempt to defend its status as National League champions after appearing in the 2009 World Series.

Offseason

The Phillies announced, following the 2009 World Series, that they would pick up their 1-year, $9 million dollar option on starting pitcher Cliff Lee, who posted a 4–0 record in the previous postseason.[1] General manager Rubén Amaro, Jr. informed pitcher Brett Myers, who had started and relieved in 2009 and sustained several injuries, that the Phillies would not pursue him for a new contract if he filed for free agency. Myers had started the last three opening days for the Phillies.[2] Starting pitcher Pedro Martínez and infielder Miguel Cairo also filed for free agency on November 6, the first possible date.[3] Philadelphia also informed third baseman Pedro Feliz that they declined to pick up his option for the 2010 season, which would have retained him for $5.5 million. The Phillies signed free-agent catcher Brian Schneider to replace Paul Bako behind Carlos Ruiz on the depth chart,[4] and replaced Feliz at third base with Plácido Polanco, who played second base for Philadelphia from 2002 to 2005, and was a Gold Glove-winning second baseman for the prior two seasons with the Detroit Tigers.[5] Polanco had previously played third base in college, when playing with the St. Louis Cardinals, and in Philadelphia when David Bell was injured and Chase Utley took over at second base.[6]

Roy Halladay signed a three-year extension after being traded to Philadelphia.

With Lee under contract for one year, the Phillies traded his rights to the Seattle Mariners, from whom they received three prospects, including Tyson Gillies and Philippe Aumont. In a related deal, the Phillies traded three prospects to the Toronto Blue Jays for the rights to right-handed starting pitcher Roy Halladay, as well as $6 million cash to cover the difference between the two aces' salaries. The trade for Halladay included a 3-year, $60 million contract extension through 2013 with an option for a 4th season.[7] The trade was the "first of its kind" in the history of the league, the only deal wherein two past winners of the Cy Young Award changed hands in related transactions.[8]

To complete their bench, the Phillies signed utility infielder Juan Castro to a one-year contract to replace Eric Bruntlett,[9] and inked a two-year deal with pinch-hitter and first baseman Ross Gload, who replaced Matt Stairs.[10] In the bullpen, the Phillies signed right-handed relief pitcher Danys Báez to a two-year contract,[11] and agreed to a one-year deal with right-handed starter and long reliever José Contreras.[12] Amaro announced that all of the coaches from the 2009 season had also been invited to return.[1]

Spring training

The Phillies opened their 2010 Grapefruit League play against the New York Yankees, defeating them 3–2; Halladay pitched two innings in the opener against CC Sabathia, striking out three and throwing 21 of 24 pitches for strikes.[13] In total, the Phillies went 13–12 in spring training,[14] where a position battle occurred for the fifth spot in the starting rotation between left-handed veteran Jamie Moyer and young right-hander Kyle Kendrick. The team announced on March 30 that Moyer had won the fifth position based on his Grapefruit League performance (1–0, 0.77 earned run average (ERA) in 11+23 innings).[15] However, Kendrick's performance (0–1, 1.66 ERA in 21+23 innings)[15] also moved him into the rotation after an oblique injury to third starter Joe Blanton.[16] Closer Brad Lidge and left-handed specialist J. C. Romero also ended spring training on the disabled list after offseason surgeries.[16]

Regular season

April

Ryan Howard passed Greg Luzinski to take sole possession of fifth place on the franchise's home run list on April 7.

The Phillies opened the season on the road for the first time since the opening of Citizens Bank Park in 2004; they defeated the Washington Nationals in their first game of the season, 11–1, behind seven innings from Roy Halladay and a grand slam from Plácido Polanco.[17] Ryan Howard moved into a tie for fifth place on the franchise's all-time home run list by hitting his 223rd, matching Greg Luzinski's career total.[18] He passed Luzinski the following day with a two-run home run to center field off of Jason Marquis in Philadelphia's 8–4 victory, sealing the team's first 2–0 start since the 2003 season.[19] They did not complete the sweep, however, as the Nationals won the third game of the series, 6–5, after newly-acquired relief pitcher Nelson Figueroa allowed an RBI double to Ryan Zimmerman in the seventh inning.[20] The Phillies took sole possession of first place by defeating the Houston Astros in the opener of their second series on April 9, defeating Brad Mills' new club, 8–0; Raúl Ibáñez broke out of a spring slump by collecting three hits and a walk in four official at bats.[21] Jamie Moyer's first start of the season resulted in the Phillies' fourth win, backed by another Howard home run; Philadelphia scored 41 runs in their first 5 games.[22] A complete-game victory for Halladay in his second Phillies start sealed the series sweep for Philadelphia, as they defeated the Astros, 2–1, on April 11. Halladay notched both the 150th win and 50th complete game of his career.[23] In the home opener against Washington, Jimmy Rollins was scratched from the starting lineup due to a calf strain—which later sent him to the disabled list[24]—and Jayson Werth left the game in the fourth inning with a sore hip; however, the Phillies scored five runs in the fifth inning to come from behind and defeat the Nationals, giving Hamels his second victory of the season.[25] Figueroa earned his first victory as a Phillie on April 14 when Philadelphia defeated Washington in the second game of the series, 14–7; their 7–1 start was the best to open a season since 1993, when they appeared in that year's World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays.[26] The bullpen, however, allowed a 4–2 lead to turn into a 7–5 loss in the final game of the series; Danys Báez allowed three runs on home runs by Adam Dunn and Zimmerman to take the loss.[27]

Opening the final series of the homestand against the Florida Marlins, manager Charlie Manuel switched starters Moyer and Halladay in the rotation to keep the latter on normal rest;[28] Halladay responded by allowing two runs in eight innings in an 8–6 victory, supported by Chase Utley's fourth consecutive contest with a home run.[29] The Marlins defeated the Phillies in the second game of the series, 5–1, as Moyer allowed five runs in the first inning and the Phillies' only run came on a late-game home run by Jayson Werth.[30] The Marlins took the rubber game of the series with a 2–0 shutout despite eight innings of two-run baseball by Cole Hamels.[31] Kyle Kendrick followed Hamels' performance with eight shutout innings on April 20, allowing four hits and walking two, but interim closer Ryan Madson allowed back-to-back home runs with two outs in the ninth inning to tie the game and José Contreras gave up another home run in the tenth, sealing the Phillies' third consecutive loss.[32] The next night, Halladay posted the third straight strong performance by the Phillies' rotation, and played the role of stopper by holding the Braves scoreless on five hits to notch his second complete game of the season and the sixteenth shutout of his career. With the win, Halladay became the first pitcher of the season to reach a 4–0 record.[33] The rotation's streak of innings without allowing an earned run extended to 23, as Moyer allowed two unearned runs in six innings; the Phillies won the game, 8–3, and the series, two games to one.[34] The streak was broken, however, the following night, as Hamels allowed four home runs in the span of two innings, and the Phillies lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks in their first trip west, 7–4.[35]

Relief pitcher Nelson Figueroa threw 100 pitches in a spot start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 24.

Figueroa made a spot start for the injured J. A. Happ in the second game against Arizona, throwing 100 pitches in 5 innings of work;[36] Contreras earned his first win of the season in the 3–2 Phillies victory.[37] However, the Phillies could not earn their fourth consecutive road series victory, as the Diamondbacks defeated Philadelphia, 8–6, after Arizona scored five runs in the fifth inning of the rubber game.[38] Continuing play against the National League West, Halladay started against the San Francisco Giants, but lost his first decision of the season, 5–1, as the Phillies left 22 men on base.[39] The offense fared no better in the second game of the series, ensuring the second straight series loss with a 6–2 defeat. The loss dropped the Phillies out of first place for the first time all season, ending a streak of 135 consecutive games at the top of the division dating back to May 29, 2009.[40] They managed to avoid being swept for the first time by defeating the Giants in 11 innings on April 28, 7–6; starter Tim Lincecum, winner of the last two National League Cy Young Awards, allowed one run and struck out eleven Phillies through 8+13 innings, but a bases-loaded double by Werth against Brian Wilson tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning and Wilson Valdez batted in the winning run in the eleventh.[41] In the game, Utley became the 5th Phillies player in the last 20 years, and the 32nd in franchise history, to reach 1,000 career hits, with a single to right field.[42] Philadelphia closed the month with their first game of the year against the division-rival New York Mets, losing 9–1 to finish with a 12–10 record in the opening month.[43]

May

Joe Blanton returned to the Phillies' rotation on May 3.

Continuing the series with the Mets from the previous month, Halladay completed his second shutout of the season, striking out six batters in a 10–0 victory.[44] The Phillies returned to first place in the division with an 11–5 victory in the series' final game, capped by a grand slam by Victorino; the 10 runs scored against Mets starter Johan Santana were the most allowed in a start in his career.[45] Joe Blanton returned to the starting rotation for his first game of the season; though he allowed one run on seven hits in 6+23 innings before being relieved, the Phillies lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in their series opener, 6–3, after the bullpen allowed three inherited runners to score.[46] Carlos Ruiz hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to win the second game of the series for Philadelphia, after Hamels and Adam Wainwright battled to a stalemate, each throwing eight innings of one-run baseball.[47] Home runs by Victorino and Polanco the following evening sealed a second straight victory for the Phillies behind seven scoreless innings from Kendrick.[48] Every starter in the lineup got at least one hit in the final game of the series, save Halladay, who pitched seven innings and allowed two runs. The offense was paced by Werth and Ruiz, who each went 3-for-4 in the game.[49][50] Werth later said that his three-run home run in the first inning was "big ups to Robin [Roberts]", the Hall of Fame Phillies pitcher who died that morning, and who shared Werth's hometown of Springfield, Illinois.[49] Werth hit another three-run home run on May 7 against the Braves to back a two-hit, no-walk shutout by Moyer, who became the oldest pitcher in Major League Baseball history to throw a complete game without allowing a run.[51] The Phillies lost the second game of the series, 4–1, as Blanton took his second consecutive loss since returning from the disabled list,[52] but came back to win the series with a 5–3 victory in Sunday's contest; Victorino, Polanco, and Werth hit home runs, and Brad Lidge earned his first save of the 2010 campaign.[53]

Playing at Coors Field to open the team's second trip to the National League West, the Phillies scored four runs in the ninth inning to win the series opener against the Colorado Rockies, 9–5. Victorino hit two triples, and Ruiz notched four hits, including a home run, in five at-bats, the highest single-game total of his career.[54] After weather on May 11 forced a day-night doubleheader the following day, the Rockies defeated Philadelphia, 4–3, on a walk-off home run by Miguel Olivo; the second game was postponed again due to additional rain and snow. The Phillies lost Ruiz to a knee injury in the game, sent Lidge back to Philadelphia for tests on his right elbow,[55] and were chastised before the game by Major League Baseball for potentially stealing signs.[56] Next, the team traveled to Wisconsin to face off against the Milwaukee Brewers, taking the first game of the series, 9–5, from former Phillie Randy Wolf; Utley, Howard and Ibáñez each hit a home run in the contest, and Victorino batted in three runs.[57] With Madson and Lidge both on the disabled list, Contreras assumed the closer's role and earned his first career save in a 10–6 Phillies victory on May 15.[58] The team completed the sweep with a 4–2 victory on May 16 behind 6+23 innings and an RBI double from Hamels.[59] A three-run home run from Werth and a late-inning grand slam from Howard gave the Phillies a 12–2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 17, supporting a career-best eight-inning performance from Kendrick; the pair of batters drove in the 10 runs that were the difference in the final score.[60] The two-game series against Pittsburgh ended in a split, however, as Halladay's two-run complete game on May 18 was overshadowed by six innings of one-run baseball pitched by Zach Duke, handing the Phillies their fourth loss of the month.[61] The team lost consecutive games for the first time in May, as they fell to the Chicago Cubs the following day, 4–1,[62] but notched a second consecutive series split when Ibáñez drove in the winning run in the eighth inning of the May 20 contest.[63]

Philadelphia opened interleague play against the Boston Red Sox on May 21, defeating them, 5–1; J. C. Romero collected his second save of the season to close Hamels' fifth victory, and Werth hit a home run to the second deck in left field.[64] Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka nearly no-hit the Phillies in the second game until Juan Castro singled with two outs in the eighth inning; it was Philadelphia's only hit of the game, as they were defeated, 5–0.[65] The Red Sox took the final game, 8–3, by scoring six earned runs against Halladay, his second consecutive loss and the most runs allowed in a start by the right-hander so far during the season.[66] Traveling to New York for their second series against the Mets, the Phillies were shut out in consecutive games: 8–0 on May 25 by knuckleballer R. A. Dickey;[67] and 5–0 on May 26 by Hisanori Takahashi.[68] Philadelphia was held scoreless for 37 of 38 consecutive innings, with the only runs coming in the final inning of the last game against Boston,[68] and increased that total to 46 of 47 after being shut out again in the final game of the series, 3–0;[69] the Phillies became the first defending league champion in Major League Baseball history not to score a run in a three-game series. It was the first time Philadelphia was shut out in three consecutive games since 1983, the season that they lost to the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series.[70] The streak ended at 30 consecutive innings (49 of 50) when the Phillies scored in the fourth inning of the May 28 contest to open the Memorial Day weekend series with Florida; they defeated the Marlins, 3–2, after taking their first lead in a game in a week.[71] Philadelphia completed its second consecutive victory in a pitcher's duel between Halladay and Marlins ace Josh Johnson; Johnson allowed only an unearned run through seven innings, but Halladay pitched the 20th perfect game in major league history, and the second in franchise history (Jim Bunning), striking out 11 and retiring all 27 Florida batters in order.[72] The tables were turned the following afternoon as the Marlins shut out the Phillies, 1–0, behind Aníbal Sánchez,[73] and the month was finished with a 9–3 loss to Atlanta.[74]

June

Jamie Moyer became the third pitcher in Major League Baseball history to win 100 games after turning 40.

Philadelphia opened the third month of the season by breaking a 68-inning streak in which no Phillie had hit a home run; Howard's two-run shot in the sixth inning was one of ten hits for the team, but the Braves defeated them, 7–3.[75] The final game of the series did not bring the Phillies a win. Although Kendrick pitched seven innings—recording the three outs of the seventh on four pitches—and allowed only one run, the Braves scored their second run against Contreras in the eighth inning to win the game, 2–1; it was Atlanta's eighth consecutive victory.[76] After a day off, the Phillies defeated the San Diego Padres in consecutive games in the Friars' only visit of the season to Philadelphia; Halladay won his eighth decision in a 3–2 victory on June 4,[77] and Moyer followed by becoming the third pitcher to win 100 games after the age of 40 (Jack Quinn, Phil Niekro) in a complete-game win on June 5.[78] After scoring five runs against Padres starter Kevin Correia in less than two innings in the third game, San Diego's bullpen pitched 8+13 scoreless frames as Philadelphia was defeated in extra innings, 6–5.[79] After Hamels lost a potential no-hitter in the seventh inning on June 7, the Phillies settled for a split with the Padres as they lost, 3–1.[80] The score seesawed back and forth in the first game of the next series with Florida. Ben Francisco made an error in the outfield and grounded into two double plays before batting in the winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning; the final score was 10–8.[81] After the second scheduled game of the series was cancelled due to poor weather conditions, the Marlins won the final game, 2–0; Johnson and Halladay matched up for the first time since the latter's perfect game two weeks prior, and the former left as the victor after pitching eight scoreless innings.[82]

In the second round of interleague play, the Phillies faced the Red Sox for the second time. In the first two games, the Phillies allowed 22 runs in 12–2 and 10–2 losses; Moyer and Blanton, as the starting pitchers, became the fourth set of pitchers in franchise history to allow eight or more earned runs in the first three innings of consecutive games, and the first pair since 1895.[83] Philadelphia took the final game of the series to collect their second interleague win of the season, defeating Boston, 5–3, behind a four-run inning by the Phillie offense.[84] In a rematch of both the 1950 World Series and the previous season's Fall Classic, the Phillies traveled north to face the New York Yankees for a three-game series beginning on June 16; they were defeated in the series opener, 8–3, although Halladay, who started the game, had been 18–6 with a 2.84 earned run average against the Yankees in his career.[85] Howard and Werth hit the first back-to-back home runs on the season for the Phillies in the second game of the series to back Moyer's 265th career victory on the 24th anniversary of his first major league start and win,[86] and Philadelphia took the rubber game, 7–1, to close out the series.[87] In the series opener against the Minnesota Twins, Howard had four hits in four at-bats, finishing a single short of the cycle and pacing the Phillies offense with two solo home runs, a triple, and a double as Philadelphia won, 9–5.[88] The offense continued in the second game, as the Phillies hit four home runs and entered the ninth inning leading 9–4, but Lidge blew his first save of the season to send the game to extra innings and the Twins won, 13–10, in the 11th frame.[89] The Twins took the final game and the series victory on June 20 behind a complete game from Carl Pavano; although both pitchers finished the game with identical 8–6 records, it was Halladay's third consecutive loss.[90]

After being activated from the disabled list, Jimmy Rollins hit his first career walk-off home run in his second game back (June 23).

Philadelphia's slate of interleague games was finished with series against the Cleveland Indians and the Toronto Blue Jays. Although Moyer allowed his major league record-tying 505th career home run (tying the recently deceased Roberts), it was the only run, and one of two hits, he gave up to Cleveland in eight innings, and Lidge saved the 2–1 victory for the Phillies in the opener.[91] After being tied 5–5 entering the ninth inning of the second game, the Indians scored in the top of the inning to take a 6–5 lead, but the recently reactivated Rollins hit his first career walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth to win the game for Philadelphia, 7–6.[92] The Phillies completed the series sweep with a 12–3 victory in which Blanton pitched 7+23 innings for his third win of the season; Polanco had four hits in five at-bats—Utley and Werth each added three—while catcher Dane Sardinha hit the first home run of his major league career.[93] Major League Baseball announced on May 12 that the series scheduled against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre would be moved to Philadelphia, citing security concerns for the G-20 Summit. The Blue Jays batted last as the home team, and the designated hitter was used.[94] Halladay faced off against his former club for the first time in the regular season, defeating Toronto, 9–0; the offense was paced by three hits and four runs batted in for Ross Gload, along with four walks from Rollins from the leadoff spot.[95] The game marked the first time that the designated hitter had been used in a National League ballpark in a regular-season game; Howard was the first player to fill the role.[96] Hamels allowed five runs in four innings in the second game of the series as the Jays defeated Philadelphia, 5–1, snapping their four-game win streak. However, the Phillies capitalized on four Toronto errors in the rubber game, taking an 11–2 victory and clinching a winning record in interleague play for the first time since the 2007 Phillies season. In a return to National League play, the Phillies closed June with a series at Great American Ball Park. They lost to the Cincinnati Reds in the series opener, 7–3, as Utley sprained his right thumb sliding into second base;[97] the injury led the team to place him on the disabled list, along with Polanco, who had soreness in his elbow.[98] Philadelphia took the second game of the series, 9–6, in extra innings after Lidge gave up a game-tying three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning,[99] but lost the series after a 4–3 comeback win by Cincinnati to close the month.[100] The Phillies finished the month with a 13–13 record.

July

Brian Schneider's July 8 walk-off home run gave the Phillies a 4–3 extra-inning victory over the Cincinnati Reds, their first of three consecutive walk-off wins.

The first game of July was also the first of a four-game series against the Pirates; bench coach Pete Mackanin led the Phillies during Manuel's one-game suspension stemming from an incident with umpire C. B. Bucknor, but Philadelphia lost, 3–2.[101] Their third consecutive loss came from seven scoreless innings by Pirates starter Ross Ohlendorf,[102] but they broke the streak by defeating Pittsburgh, 12–4, on July 3.[103] The Pirates came back to win the final game of the four-game set, 8–5.[104] Halladay's major-league-leading seventh complete-game victory opened the series with Atlanta, a 3–1 win for the Phillies;[105] however, Philadelphia dropped the second game in extra innings despite eight strikeouts in seven innings from Hamels.[106] A second consecutive loss to Atlanta—7–5 on July 7—dropped the Phillies six games behind the division leaders,[107] but they defeated the Reds in extra innings the following night, 4–3, on a walk-off home run by Brian Schneider in the 12th inning.[108] The Phillies continued their winning ways in the late innings the following night, coming back from a six-run deficit in the ninth inning to win, 9–7, in the 10th inning on Howard's home run,[109] and winning the third game on Rollins' RBI single in the eleventh.[110] Another RBI single from Rollins provided the only run in the Phillies' final victory before the All-Star Break and capped the four-game series sweep for Philadelphia.[111]
