The Phils continued their series with the Padres tonight, looking to even it at one game a piece. Brett Myers got the start and pitched well, allowing just 3 runs on 2 hits in 6 and 2/3rd's innings of work. The Phils meanwhile slugged 3 homers and took a lead into the 9th inning once again poised for a win, but would it be enough this time?. In the bottom of the 2nd, Raul Ibanez slapped a solo homer for a 1-0 lead. In the top of the 3rd Adrian Gonzalez lined a 2 run homer into the seats to put the Padres up 2-1. In the top of the 5th Brian Giles doubled in a run for a 3-1 lead. In the bottom of the 5th Myers himself doubled and scored on a sac fly by Shane Victorino to cut it to 3-2. In the bottom of the 6th Ryan Howard crushed a solo homer to tie it at 3. In the top of the 8th Nick Hundley singled in a run to put the Padres up again 4-3. In the bottom of the 8th Chase Utley clobbered a solo homer and Ibanez singled and scored on a sac fly by Pedro Feliz for a 5-4 lead. That set the stage for Brad Lidge to convert his 48th consecutive save in the top of the 9th. Sadly it was not to be. First Jody Gerut doubled and scored the tying on a fielders' choice, then Kevin Kouzmanoff stunned the Phillies faithful by blasting a 2 out 3 run homer to put San Diego up 8-5. In the bottom of the 9th the Phils again came up empty to finish off their 3rd consecutive loss and drop to 4-6 overall. These San Diego Padres are just too hot for anyone right now.
