PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils continued the NLCS with the Dodgers tonight in game 3. Jamie Moyer got the start and was roughed up badly allowing 6 runs on 6 hits in just 1 and 1/3rd innings of work. So the Phils would have to mount a comeback to win this one. Now onto the game. In the bottom of the 1st, Manny Ramirez singled in one run, Casey Blake singled in a 2nd run, and Blake Dewitt slapped a 2 out bases clearing double for a 5-0 Dodger lead. In the top of the 2nd, Pedro Feliz singled in a run to cut the lead to 5-1. In the bottom of the 2nd, the Dodgers cmae right back as Rafeal Furcal slammed a solo homer for a 6-1 lead. In the bottom of the 4th, Nomar Garciapparra singled in a run for a 7-1 lead. In the top of the 7th, "the Bat" Pat Burrell singled in a run to cut the lead to 7-2, but the Phils wasted a golden opportunity to get back in the game leaving 2 runners on base. From there the Dodger bullpen closed out the 7-2 win. So the Phils series lead is cut to 2-1 as the Phils remain without a win in L.A this season. Still, all they need is one win out of their next two and they can close it out at home in game 6.
