FROM EXPRESS TIMES
Delmon Young had a career-high six RBIs, helping John Lannan breeze to his first victory with Philadelphia, and the Phillies got homers from Michael Young and John Mayberry in a 16-1 rout of the Dodgers on Friday night, snapping the Dodgers season-best, six-game winning streak.
Phillies All-Star first baseman Ryan Howard, batting .268 overall and .173 against left-handers, was given the day off by manager Charlie Manuel with lefty Chris Capuano starting for the Dodgers.
With lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu scheduled to pitch for the Dodgers on today, Manuel said he would give the 2006 NL MVP another day off before putting him back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale.
