The Phils traveled to Colorado this afternoon to begin a series with the Rockies. Cole Hamels made his first start of the season, and was decidely less than Hollywood allowing 7 runs on 11 hits in just 3 and 2/3rd's innings of work. Of course it was at Coors field which tends to make a lot of good pitchers look bad, so I wouldn't be freaking out just yet. Still the Phils couldn't muster too much offense of their own again and that could be a problem though it is probably too early tell right now. Anyway In the top of the 2nd Jayson Werth doubled and scored on a sac fly for a 1-0 lead. In the bottom of the 3rd, the pitcher, Jason Marquis singled in a run and scored on a fielder's choice, Garret Atkins slugged a 2 run homer, and Troy Tulowitzk tripled in a run for a 5-1 Colorado lead. In the top of the 4th Werth doubled again and scored on a fielder's choice to cut it to 5-2. In the bottom of the 5th Ryan Spillborghs singled in a run and scored on a single by Tod Helton for a 7-2 lead. In the bottom of the 8th singles by Spillborghs and Dexter Fowler and a sac fly by Helton produced 3 more runs and a 10-2 lead. Finally in the top of the 9th Werth slammed a solo homer before the Phils finally succumbed 10-3. So the Phils drop to 1-3 overall but it's too early to worry too much about it right now. They'll turn it around eventually.
