Trent likes Chooch too

It was the best game of Trent's life.

I know, we're talking about only little more than a month's sample size, but it was a pretty darn good game.

Reds rookie Travis Wood took a perfect game into the 9th before Trent worked his magic, willing a double for his mother's favorite Phillie, Carlos Ruiz, who was just activated from the DL.

The Phillies didn't score in the inning, but it didn't matter because Roy Halladay also pitched nine shutout innings.

Trent toyed with the Reds for two more innings before willing another double for Chooch, who later scored the winning run on a hit by Jimmy Rollins.

So in our three nights with Trent, there have been three walkoff extra-inning wins for the Phillies. I swear I didn't mean to turn this into a baby blog.

The Red Sox lost ugly to the Blue Jays 9-5.
