Lidge allowed a run in the ninth inning, but got the save in the Phillies' 5-4 win over the Braves on Tuesday. Advice: Lidge hadn?t allowed an earned run in 17 2-3 innings before Brian McCann hit an RBI double with two outs in the ninth Tuesday. Jayson Werth completely misplayed the liner to center, breaking in and allowing the ball to sail over his head. Lidge has 10 saves and a 0.50 ERA. |

RHP Brad Lidge allowed his first earned run in 18 innings this season in the ninth inning Tuesday night when Brian McCann's double scored Mark Kotsay. But Lidge, who entered with a two-run lead, improved to 10-for-10 in save opportunities for the Phillies. Lidge said having arthroscopic knee surgery Feb. 25 actually has helped him early in the season, even though it caused him to miss most of spring training and to spend the first week of the season on the disabled list. "I think the fact I got hurt in spring training made me realize I was going to start the season a hair late, and when I did, I probably wasn't going to be pumping out 100 percent velocity," Lidge said. "I really focused on control for the first time in my career. I think, because I did that, I came out of the chute with a lot more control." |

Lidge got into a jam in the ninth and allowed his first run of the season, but got his 10th save Tuesday night. Recommendation: Lidge walked two and gave up a double to Brian McCann. He is still looking good with a 0.50 ERA, so there is no cause for concern. |
