Werth would later credit his explosion on the basepaths to a visit from legendary ballplayer Michael ‘Squints’ Palledorous in a dream the night before.

“He gave me the ‘Everybody gets one chance to do something great’ speech, went on and on about how much of a nag Wendy Peffercorn turned out to be and that was pretty much it,” Werth said after the game. “I just took it as an omen to put my PF Flyers on.”

Jamie Moyer will get the call for the Phils and will face ex-Phillie Randy Wolf on Wednesday night in Game 2 of the three-game set.
