The Phils finished off their series with the Angels this afternoon looking to avoid the embarrassing sweep. Cole Hamels took the mound looking to end the Phils 4 game skid. He pitched well, allowing just 3 runs on 6 hits in 7 innings of work. However, the Phils bats again came out slow and again a late rally would determine the day. Now onto the game. In the top of the 2nd, Vlad Guerrero singled and scored on a single by Gary Matthews Jr, and Casey Kotchman slammed a 2 run homer for a 3-0 Angel's lead. In the bottom of the 3rd, Ryan Howard slapped an RBI single to cut the lead to 3-1. In the bottom of the 7th, Jimmy Rollins doubled in a run to cut the lead to 3-2. Finally in the bottom of the 9th, the Phils had one final to chance to tie it up or take the lead, as So Taguchi stepped to the plate with two on and two out. Unfortunately, Taguchi could only foul out to end the game and the Phils dropped their 5th in a row to fall to 42-35 overall, now just .5 games up in the NL East.
