PHILLIES NEWS

After a solid win last night, the Phils were looking for more of the same tonight in the second of their 3 game set with the Jays. Adam Eaton got the start and after getting tagged by an ex-mate managed to tough out 5 okay innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits. Meanwhile, the Phils bats were tamed by A.J Burnett with just 2 runs on 4 hits through 6 innings. Now onto the game. In the top of the 2nd inning, Rod freaking Barajas, who stunk for the Phils last season, slammed a grand slam for a 4-0 Blue Jays lead. In the bottom of the 4th, Greg Dobbs doubled in a run to cut the lead to 4-1. In the bottom of the 7th, Jimmy Rollins slapped a 2 run double to cut the lead to 4-3. In the top of 9th, freaking Barajas crushed a solo homer and Aaron Hill singled, stole second and scored on an error by Ryan Howard for a 6-3 Blue Jays lead. Finally in the bottom of the 9th, the Phils went down quietly to fall 6-3. So the Phils drop to 24-20 overall, and out of first place again. Oh well, there's still a lot of season left.
