The Phils continued their series with the Dodgers tonight. Jamie Moyer got the start , once again attempting to win No. 250. For 3 and 1/3rd innings it looked like Moyer might have just enough to pull it out as Jimmy Rollins slugged a solo shot in the bottom of the 2nd to give him a 1-0 lead. However, from there on the wheels came loose. When the dust finally settled, Moyer had allowed 7 runs on 8 hits in just 4 and 1/3rd innings of work. Although the bullpen pitched well ,allowing just 2 runs the rest of the way, the Phils could not dig out of the hole Moyer had put them in. In the fateful top of the 4th inning, Orlando Hudson doubled in one run, James Loney blooped a 3 run homer, and Matt Kemp somehow scored from 2nd on a bunt, apparently he's fast, for a 5-1 Dodger lead. In the top of the 5th, Loney singled in one run, and Casey Blake sac flyed in another for a 7-1 lead. In the top of the 9th, Casey Blake lined a 2 out 2 run homer into the seats for a 9-1 lead. In the bottom of the 9th, the Phils finally got on the board again as Raul Ibanez crushed a leadoff homer to cut the lead to 9-2, but it was too little too late, and eventually the Phils fell by that score. So the Phils drop to 16-15 overall but remain 2nd in the NL East just 1 game behind the Mets.
