    Roy Halladay followed eight dominant innings with one rather shaky one and, suddenly, Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel was ambling out to the mound.

    Pulling his pitcher? Nope. More like a quick chat, to hear Manuel tell it.

    "I said: 'Well Roy, here I am," Manuel recounted. "He said: 'I got 'em.' He said: 'I got 'em. I got 'em." So Manuel finished off the exchange by telling the righty: "Well, OK. You got 'em, then."

    Halladay certainly did.

    Finishing with a flourish, Halladay struck out the game's last two batters with his final six pitches, holding on to throw his first complete game of 2011 and lead the Phillies past the Washington Nationals 3-2 Wednesday night.
