Phillies 14 Marlins 2
It Was Over When......
The Phils scored 3 runs in the 3rd inning to take a 4-1 lead which they never relinquish, as they scored 10, yes 10 runs over the next 3 innings.
The Game Ball Goes To......
The Phillies offense which racked up 14 runs on 18 hits. Jimmy Rollins had 2 hits, an RBI, and 3 runs scored. Shane Victorino had 5, yes 5 hits including 2 doubles, and scored and knocked in 3 runs. Pat Burrell, had 3 hits, including 2 homers, and knocked in and scored 4 runs. Lastly, Chris Coste who caught the 14 inning marathon Wednesday, and played last night, somehow still found the energy to collect 2 hits and 2 RBIs tonight.
The Stat Game Is......
2, as in just 2 runs scored by the Marlins all night. They Scored the 1st run of the game in the bottom of the 1st inning, and then did not score again until the bottom of the 8th inning.
The Bottom Line Is......
This was a must win for the Phils and they got it easily. Unfortunately the Dodgers won again last night so the Phils are still 2 back now with just 2 to play. Also, just to make things more interesting the Padres lost last night, so they and the Dodgers are tied for 1st in the NL west and are both 2 games up on the Phils in the wildcard. All of which means, that in order for the Phils to make the playoffs they have to win their last 2, and either the Dodgers or the Padres have to lose their last 2. If they lose it's over, but if they win, there's still a chance and that's good enough for me to stick with them until the bitter end. Well, happy trails everyone.
