The run scored in the first, as Ryan Zimmerman doubled in Nyjer Morgan. Halladay was pretty much untouchable the rest of the way, though. It will be interesting to see if he can keep up the strikeout pace. His strikeout rate took a big jump in 2008 and increased again last year. Now that he gets to face pitchers, rather than DHs, it could improve further.
