The Phils continued their series with the Brewers tonight on yet another wet and rainy night. Although the rain didn't delay the game at all it seemed to throw off the Phils, at the plate, in the field and on the mound, just enough for Milwaukee to eke out a win. Joe Blanton got the start and pitched well, allowing just 3 runs on 8 hits, but he was bested by Braden Looper who tossed 6 shutout innings. So in all it was not a fun night for the Phils. In the top of the 5th J.J Hardy lined a solo homer into the seats for a 1-0 Brewer lead. In the top of the 6th Mike Cameron doubled in a couple of runs for a 3-0 lead. In the bottom of the 9th Jayson Werth finally put the Phils on the board with a solo homer to cut the lead to 3-1. Alas, it was too little, too late, and a few batters later with the tying run on first, Chris Coste struck out to end it. So the Phils drop to 6-7 overall and will look to bounce back tomorrow and win the series.
