The Phils continued their 4 game set with the Astros tonight. Brett Myers got the start and had another solid outing allowing just 4 runs on 8 hits in 6 innings. Unfortunately, once again the Phils could give him no run support. Now onto the game. In the top of the 1st, the "Flyin Hawaiian" Shane Victorino reached base on an error, stole second, and scored on a double by Ryan Howard. In the bottom of the 1st, Carlos Lee slapped a 2 out 2 run double for a 2-1 Astros' lead. In the top of the 3rd, Howard slammed a 2 run homer for a 3-2 Phils lead. In the bottom of the 5th, Micheal Bourn doubled and scored on a single by Lee to knot it up at 3. In the bottom of the 6th, Mark Loretta slapped a pinch RBI single for a 4-3 Astros' lead. It stayed that way until the top of the 9th, where the Phils loaded the bases with one out, for Victorino. Unfortunately, Victorino flied out, and Pedro Feliz was gunned down at the plate by Darin Erstad, while attempting to tag up from 3rd, to end it in a 4-3 Astros' win. So the Phils drop to 27-24 overall and down to 3rd in the NL East.
