The Phils finished off their 3 game set with the A's this afternoon. Unfortunately, they ran into a buzz saw in Rich Harden who blanked them on just 2 hits while striking out 11. They were simply no match for Harden's smoke. Now onto the game. In the bottom of the first, Ryan Sweeney doubled in a run and scored on a single by Jack Cust for a 2-0 A's lead. In the bottom of the 6th, Carlos Gonzalez slammed a solo homer for a 3-0 A's lead. In the bottom of the 8th, Jack Hanahan doubled in a run and scored on a throwing error by the "Flyin Hawaiian" Shane Victorino for a 5-0 A's lead. Finally in the top of the 9th, Alan Embree put the Phils down after allowing Pat "the Bat " Burrell, yes Pat the Bat, to slap a 2 out triple. So the Phils struggles continue as they drop to 43-37 overall, but remain 2 games up in the NL East.
