PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils went for another sweep of the Mets tonight at Bank with Cliff Lee on the mound. Lee delivered, allowing just 1 run on 8 hits while striking out 5 in 7 strong innings. Unfortunately, the Phils could only muster one of their own, on Ryan Howard's RBI single, and the game ended going into extra innings. In the 14th inning Ronnie Paulino's 2 out double gave the Mets a 2-1 and they hung on to win by that score. It's probably fitting that the night Osama Bin Laden finally came to justice coincided with a stirring Met's victory. Despite the loss the Phils remain atop the NL East by .5 games.
