MIAMI (AP)—The Philadelphia Phillies finished with a flourish Sunday. As Jimmy Rollins(notes) squeezed a routine popup for the final out, he delivered a one-legged dance kick.
With that, the Phils waltzed back to Philadelphia riding their longest winning streak in three years.
Unbeaten rookie J.A. Happ(notes) pitched seven innings and the first-place Phillies won their eighth game in a row by beating the Florida Marlins 5-0.
Happ (7-0) escaped a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the sixth to help the Phils win for the 12th time in the past 13 games. The winning streak is their longest since taking nine in a row April 30-May 9, 2006.
“We have a lot of confidence, and I have a lot of confidence in the guys,” Happ said. “It makes it fun to have them go out there behind me.”
