Coming into tonight the Phils had not lost more than 2 games in a row all season. This was thanks mostly due to their great pitching. Unfortunately it's begun look right now as though the pitching can't overcome the current lack of hitting. Tonight simply reinforced that belief. Cliff Lee pitched well, allowing just 3 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 4 in 6 and 1/3rd innings. Micheal Stutes and J.C Romero then followed with a scoreless inning and 2/3rds to complete an effort that should have been enough for a win. Instead the Phils managed to just 1 run on 5 hits, Ben Francisco's RBI single in the 2nd inning, before bowing to the Cardinals 3-1.
