Roy Halladay gave up a grand slam to Yadier Molina in an abbreviated two-inning start before leaving with shoulder soreness, and the Cardinals avoided a four-game sweep with an 8-3 win over the Phillies yesterday in St. Louis.
The Phillies, who begin a three-game set with the Mets starting today at Citi Field, were looking for their first four-game sweep in St. Louis in 99 years.
Halladay (4-5) departed with a 3.98 ERA after an outing that matched the second-shortest outing of his career. The team said the two-time Cy Young winner was taken out as a precautionary measure.
ROY HALLADAY
Examination tomorrow.
“Worried? Yeah, definitely, I’m concerned,” said manager Charlie Manuel, whose club already is without Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. “Pitching is one of the big things on our club and when guys miss a turn, it concerns me.”
Halladay said the soreness comes from the back of the shoulder. He anticipates an examination tomorrow.
“I’m hoping it’s something we can just calm down quickly and get back out there,” the pitcher said. “It’s not to the point where I’m in agony throwing pitches.”
