The Phils continued their series with the Marlins tonight. Joe Blanton got the start and pitched okay, allowing just 2 runs on 4 hits in 5 innings of work. Meanwhile, the Phils also had 2 runs in those 5 innings, and so would need a late run somewhere along the line to pull this one out. In the top of the 3rd, Chase Utley singled in a run for a 1-0 lead. In the bottom of the 3rd, John Baker slapped a 2 run double for a 2-1 fish lead. In the top of the 4th, the "Flyin Hawaiian" Shane Victorino slugged a solo homer to knot it up at 2. In the top of the 6th, Greg Dobbs singled in a run for a 3-2 lead. Finally in the bottom of the 9th, after a leadoff walk, Brad Lidge struck out the side to close out the Fish, and the 3-2 Phils' win. So the Phils move to 87-68 overall, once again .5 games up in the NL East.
