Phillies Win It In 13 Innings!
Yesterday’s game was a great game if you are a baseball fan. The Phillies looking to salvage a season that has gone wrong, last night the Phillies pulled it together in 13 innings to win 7 to 5 after the Padres committed two errors in the inning. Cole Hamels who started the game, looked awful, giving up 5 runs and letting the Padres get a 5 to 3 lead until Delmon Young hit a two run bomb to left to tie the game in the 8th inning. The Phillies gave Hamels a 2-0 lead in the 2nd inning, but he could not hold the lead, letting the Padres score 5 unanswered runs and was pulled after 5 to 2. The Phillies mounted their comeback with 1 run in the 7th and the Delmon Young two run shot to tie it. Let’s go the thirtieth inning, the game is tied 5 to 5. Tommy Layne comes in to replace Huston Street. He hits Chase Utley to start the inning, he then get two quick outs. Domonic Brown walks, then Ben Revere reaches on a fielding error by Logan Forsythe that scores Utley, then he throws the ball away and lets Brown score making it 7 to 5 Phillies. Shaky Papelbon comes in but does not repeat Monday’s loss, he gets his 15th save of the year. After the game Charlie Manual spoke about the outcome, “That’s why you keep playing, you’d be surprised at what you can do when you really want to play. That’s what it’s all about. Sometimes it doesn’t matter … if you want to play, that can take you a long way. It might not take you to the Promised Land, but you can have a lot more fun if you’re winning games” (1). The Phillies now move on to play the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Phillies will send Jonathan Pettibone to the mound to try and help the Phillies win three in a row. The Dodgers will counter with Zack Grienke who is 3 and 1 since coming back from the DL in May. The game is at 10:10pm at Dodger Stadium. The game will be featured on Comcast SportsNet.
