PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils finished off their 3 game set with the Giants this afternoon and dropped another tough one to lose the series. Adam Eaton got the start and pitched well, allowing just 2 runs on 5 hits in 5 innings of work, but the bullpen couldn't quite hold the lead for him. Now onto the game. In the bottom of the 2nd, Bengie Molina singled and scored for a 1-0 Giants lead. In the top of 4th, Eaton walked with the bases loaded to force in a run and knot it at 1. In the bottom of the inning Molina doubled and scored on a fielder's choice for a 2-1 lead. In the top of the 5th, Ryan Howard hit a rare triple to knock in one run, and then scored on a sac fly by "the Bat" Pat Burrell for a 3-2 Phils lead. That lead held up until the bottom of the 7th, where John Holm slammed a 2 out 2 run homer off J.C Romero for a 4-3 Giants lead. From there the Phils had their chances to pull even or take the lead but came up short and in the 9th with one on and out, JRoll grounded into a double play to cap off the 4-3 loss. So the Phils drop to 21-18 overall, not the best way unwind on a Sunday afternoon.
