Phils Beat D-Backs

Domonic Brown looks fantastic in major league debut

The Domonic Brown era is only one game old, but it’s looking pretty darn good so far.

The top prospect made his major league debut Wednesday night in a Phillies uniform and made the most of it, stroking two hits and scoring two RBI in a 7-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Brown, a 20th-round pick in the 2006 draft, was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley after outfielder Shane
Victorino went on the 15-day disabled list with an abdominal strain.

Brown went to work right away, rapping an RBI double in his first major league at-bat; the ball almost cleared the wall for a homer. 

Phils pitcher Roy Halladay (12-8) carried the load, tossing a six-hit complete game.

Jayson Werth went 3 for 4 with three runs scored and Carlos Ruiz went 3 for 4 with three RBIs for the Phillies, who have won seven
straight overall and 10 in a row at home.

The Phils take on the Diamondbacks again tonight at Citizens Bank Park.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:05pm.
