The Phils continued their 3 game set with the Florida Marlins tonight. Cole Hamels got the start and pitched well, allowing just 2 runs on 3 hits ,while striking out 13 in 8 innings of work. Meanwhile, Andrew Miller, cut the down the Phils' bats for just 1 run on 4 hits in 7 innings of work. So again it came down to the wire. Now onto the game. In the bottom of the first Jorge Cantu slammed a solo homer for a 1-0 Marlins' lead. In the top of the 7th, the "Flyin Hawaiian" doubled and scored on a single by Chase Utley to cut the lead to 2-1. In the bottom of the 7th, Jorge Cantu struck again with another solo homer for a 2-1 Marlins' lead. In the top of the 9th, Eric Bruntlett, pinch running for Greg Dobbs stole 3rd, and scored on a fielder's choice to knot it up at 2. Finally, in the bottom of the inning, Dan Uggla broke the Phils' hearts stroking a grand slam off Flash Gordon, who just didn't have it tonight for a 6-2 Marlins' win. So now the Phils drop to 39-28 overall and lead the NL East by just 1.5 games.
