All good things must eventually come to an end, as did the Phils win streak on this night. Things started well enough though. Ryan Howard crushed a 400 ft plus homer to give the Phils a 2-0 lead in the first. From there Kyle Kendrick tossed 6 scoreless innings and things appeared to be rolling towards a 12th straight win. Unfortunately Kyle ran out the of steam in 7th.
In that inning he managed to retired just 1 batter before allowing a run and loading the bases. Chad Durbin tried to bail him out. However, he ended up tacking 3 more runs onto Kyle's final line as well as a run on his own line before finally getting out of the inning. Down 5-2 heading into the bottom of the 7th, the Phils had some run scoring opportunities the rest of the way but couldn't capitalize before succumbing to the Mets 5-2. The Braves won this afternoon so the Phils magic number remains at 2.
