Forty-four year-old Jamie Moyer gets the better of veteran southpaw David Wells in the second-oldest matchup of starting pitchers in major league history when the Phillies beat the Padres at Petco Park, 12-4. The mound opponents are a combined 88 years and 307 days of age, making the duo younger than the tandem of Don Sutton (42) and Phil Niekro (48), who faced off in a 1987 contest between the Indians and Angels.
