Well, I just got in from shopping with my wife and heard part of an inning on the radio. I don't know what happened but the Phillies had a 6-0 lead and now it's 6-5 and Chad Durbin is pitching for them in the 7th. I'll guess Eaton had his typical 1 bad inning and got hammered after a reasonably good game up to that point. I heard Werth hit a HR. Mid 7, 6-5 Phils

[kalasfan]

Interesting to note that Chase Utley started this one at 1st base and Brad Harman started at second. Correction - Gordon is on in relief of Durbin.

[kalasfan]

Gordon allows a walk but gets three easy flyball outs.
Pinch hitter Greg Dobbs walks to lead off the 8th for the Phils. Howard is now pinch hitting.

[kalasfan]

Howard K's again. He needs to take a whole game off. No scoring by the Phils, 6-5 Phillies mid 8.

[kalasfan]

JC Romero induces a ground out with 2 on and 2 out to end a mild Bucco threat. Still 6-5 Phils after 8.

[kalasfan]

Matt Capps pitching for Pittsburgh.

[kalasfan]

Phils get nothing off Capps. Lidge will try for another save.

[kalasfan]

Lidge facing the top of Pittsburgh's order.
He starts out with a whiff of McLouth.

[kalasfan]

Sanchez flies out to right.

[kalasfan]

Bay, who has had success off Lidge finds himself down 0-2.

[kalasfan]

And Bay strikes out. 6-5 final, Phils win and go 4-1 on the road trip.

[Fish Troll]

Well its the pirates, this are games that you must win.

[kalasfan]

Fish in a scoreless game in Milwaukee and Mets down 6-3 at home to the Braves, could be a good night for the Phils.

[kalasfan]

Mets have lost, Brewers at bat in the bottom of the 8th, still 0-0.

[kalasfan]

Fish and Brewers going extras still scoreless.
