Roy Halladay was stellar allowing 2 runs, only one them earned, on 5 hits, while striking out 9 in 8 innings. Unfortunately, his teammates let him down at the plate and in the field and he wound up with the rare complete game loss. The Phils actually led early 1-0 on a solo shot by Ryan Howard in the 2nd inning. After that they twice loaded the bases on Josh Johnson and twice they came up empty. Still, thanks to Halladay they managed to get into the bottom of the 8th inning with the scored tied at 1. Then Jimmy Rollins committed his first error in over 80 games which later led to an unearned run in that inning and proved to be the difference in a 2-1 loss.
