Greinke's hitting outshined to offset his worst start

Zack Greinke shined http://www.officialauthenticlions.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_LAKEN_TOMLINSON_JERSEY.html on Thursday, but not the way he normally does.In fact, the National League Cy Young Award favorite had his worst start of the season on the mound.
Greinke was 3 for 3 with a homer to offset his worst start in three years and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 10-8 on Thursday.
Greinke (11-2) gave up five runs before recording an out and finished with six runs allowed and seven hits in six innings. But he helped himself at the plate and Adrian Gonzalez hit a three-run homer to pace the NL West-leading Dodgers.
''I was mad after the first inning so I had motivation to get more hits,'' Greinke said.
The six runs equaled the total Greinke gave up in his previous Linval Joseph Limited Jersey nine starts combined. He had a scoreless streak of 45 2-3 innings during that span. Greinke hadn't allowed six earned runs since Aug. 19, 2012, when he gave up six for the Angels at Tampa Bay.
Greinke's ERA rose from 1.41 to 1.71. His batting average went from .170 to .220.
However, the National League West-leading Dodgers (62-46) took care of the right-hander by countering with 15 hits and a surplus of support to improve to a season-best 16 games above .500.
"Today, I was really mad after that first inning, so more motivation to try and get some hits," Greinke said.
"Usually, I just try to focus on pitching, but we were down by some runs, so I needed to put some good at-bats out there today."
''He's a good hitter. He has good mechanics,'' Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.
Domonic Brown hit a three-run homer for the Phillies, who lost Bills John Miller Jersey their first series since the All-Star break. They're 13-5 since the break but still have the worst record in the majors at 42-67.
Fans gave Jimmy Rollins a loud standing ovation when he led off the game for the third straight day. Rollins, the Phillies' all-time hits leader, was 1 for 5.
''Their top five in the order are up there with best top five we have to face and you probably don't hear people say that,'' Greinke said. ''It's a tough top three.''
''To score that many runs off Greinke and not win has to hurt,'' Buchanan said. ''I just didn't make quality pitches. I have to work on a few things and get ready for the next start.''
Gonzalez connected for his 22nd homer in the second to put the Dodgers ahead 6-5. Greinke hit his fifth career homer in the third to make it 7-5.
Greinke reached on an infield single for his third hit to start the sixth. Rollins followed with a double and Howie Kendrick hit a two-run double to make it 9-6. Yasmani Grandal's sacrifice fly extended the lead to 10-6.
Kenley Jansen got the final http://www.nflbillsofficialshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_E_J_MANUEL_JERSEY.html two outs to record his 21st save in 22 chances.
