PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils finished off their 3 game set with the Mets tonight in just about the toughest fashion possible. Adam Eaton, who still has not lost to the Mets in his career(only because he got a no-decision tonight) got the start and again pitched well, allowing just 3 runs on 5 hits in 6 innings of work. Unnfortunately, once again the Phil's lineup could do nothing without the reigning MVP setting the table, and nearly wasted another solid outing by Eaton, but in the end it came down to some controversial late inning heroics that just happened to not go the Phils way. In the bottom of the 4th inning Ryan Church slapped a 2 out 2 RBI single for a 2-0 Mets lead. In the bottom of the 6th, Angel Pagan doubled and scored on a single by Carlos Beltran for a 3-0 Met's lead. In the top of the 7th the Phils finally started on the comeback trail, as Pedro Feliz slammed a solo homer just inside the foul pole to cut the lead to 3-1. In the top of the 8th, they made it all the way back as Ryan Howard crushed a solo homer to center, and Sao Taguchi, pinch running for Pat Burrell, scored on a fielder's choice to tie it at 3. From there the bullpens took over the game until with two out in the bottom of the 12th, and the always dangerous Jose Reyes on second after a double, Angel Pagan rolled a single to shallow center and Jayson Werth charged and fired, seemingly cutting down Reyes at the plate perfectly blocked by Chris Coste, but somehow the ump didn't see it that way and called him safe with one of those overly enthusiastic calls that says "I'm not really sure what I saw, so I better sell it". So maybe he was out or maybe he was safe, who knows, but at any rate the Phils drop to 4-6 overall thus far and continue their April struggles.
