After taking 2 of 3 from the Cardinals, the Phils welcomed the Arizona DiamondBacks to the Bank tonight to begin a 3 game weekend set. Kyle Kendrick got the start tonight and pitched well, allowing just 4 runs on 9 hits in 6 and 1/3rd innings of work, just enough to keep the Phils in it. Now onto the game. In the bottom of the 2nd, Ryan Howard Slammed a solo homer for a 1-0 Phil's lead. In the top of the 6th, Orlando Hudson singled, stole second, and scored on a single by Chad Tracy to knot it up at 1. In the bottom of the 6th, Pedro Feliz scored one run on a wild pitch, and The "Flyin Hawaiian" Shane Victorino scored a second run on a fielder's choice for a 3-1 lead. In the top of the 7th, Edwin Bonifacio slapped a 2 run double and scored on a singly by Stephen Drew for a 4-3 DBack's lead. In the top of the 8th, Alex Romero doubled in a run for a 5-3 lead. In the bottom of the 8th, Victorino Tripled in 2 runs to knot it up again 5. From there neither team could score until the game had gone into extra innings. Finally in the bottom of the 12th, Jayson Werth slapped a game winning RBI single to cap off a 6-5 Phils' win as they improve to 51-43 overall and remain atop the NL East by 1.5 games.
