PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils and Rays went toe to toe tonight in game 2 of the world series. Brett Myers got the start and pitched okay allowing 4 runs on 7 hits in 7 innings of work, just enough to keep the Phils in it throughout. So they would need a late rally to pull this one out. Now onto the game. In the bottom of the 1st, a couple of fielder's choices allowed the Rays to push across 2 runs for a 2-0 lead. In the bottom of the 2nd, B.J Upton singled in a run for a 3-0 lead. In the bottom of the 4th, Cliff Floyd singled and scored on a squeeze bunt for a 4-0 lead. Eric Bruntlett finally put the Phils on the board in the top of the 8th with a solo homer to cut the lead to 4-1. In the top of the 9th, Jayson Werth singled in a run with one out to cut the lead 4-2 and bring the tying run to the plate but Chase Utley and Ryan Howard went down in order to finish it. So the series is tied 1-1 as it shifts to the Bank for the next 3 games. If they hop to maintain control of the series when the get here the Phils will have to remember how knock in a run as they are now just 1 for 28 in the series with the runners in scoring position.
